Default Tyre feathering...??

My girlfriend works at the highways agency and they share their building with surrey traffic cops- one of them was having a smoke and said that my tyres were feathering? (he's a vehicle examiner).
I had the tracking laser tested and it was spot on- the cars only 3 months old.

He thinks the camber's out- already??

Anyone had this or know what it could be?

I ran my hand over it and he reckons instead of being smoothish they are bobbly...

Cheers fellas

Your tyres get feathered by cornering hard, mine are always a but rough round the edges, nothing wrong with that.

Cheers fellas when i bought my car from subaru the steering wheel was slightly off center, when i highlighted this i was told it would be looked at prior to me picking up the car. you guessed it "the mechanics couldnt find any problems sir" i later took the car for lazer alignment at a specialist and was shown the problem the rear n/s camber was out. after some scary lookin work it was sorted and car runs straight. apparantly even new cars from manufacturer arnt spot on.
