Feathering used to be a problem on mk5s but it's not really an issue on mk7s.

I disagree with that statement, I think mine is doing it a little with a nearly new set of Michelin PS4s on and a 4 wheel alignment carried out...
incorrect tyre pressures then? It's just not as common an issue as it was on the Mk5 platform.
TCR, Pure Grey, DCC, Dynaudio and Climate Screen.
