I've notice that my right rear seem to be putting a feathering pattern on my right side tires. The left is off to but not as bad as the right. I bought the car to the dealer but still noticed the same issue with new tires. Has anyone had similar issues with their 06 TL’s.
Normally have tire rotated on oil change intervals, 6k-7k miles.
I still have plenty wear left on the tire but I’m thinking of changing them out even having another alignment. The noise is more than I'm willing to except.

Yep, 3G TLs are somewhat notorious for uneven rear tire wear when the rear alignment is even slightly out of spec. Just get it back in spec and you'll be fine.

If you're already getting noise from that tire, it may be cupped too bad to keep.

Alignment then tires. Toe is out if feathered.
Don't get new tires until the alignment is corrected to factory tolerances, or you'll start wearing the new tires with an uneven pattern.
If the car is out of specs, new tires and/or rotating will not change the uneven tread wear, only disburse it over all the tires.

Thanks for the comments. Your comment are the plan. You can actually eyeball the right side (rear) and see something isn't right. It been like that since the day it was aligned by the dealer. I waited to see if this was the way the rear was suppose to look on others simular 3g models. My car was the only one that looked that way. The dealer will be hearing about this or paying for the next tires

I have an 06 and needed a rearalignment- in my case the left-rear was out-of-spec for camber and the right-rear was out-of-spec for toe. The alignment shop installed a camber kit to bring the rear to spec. I did this days after I bought new tires.
