A flat spot can be caused by heavy braking which makes the wheels lock and scrub the tyre along the road surface. Feathering is caused by bad wheel alignment, excessive toe-in or toe-out of the wheels. Uneven wear of the tread is due to bad wheel balance, or a fault in the suspension, steering gear or bearings.
