My front tires are badly feathered right now. Very noisy/rough ride. I'm having them replaced next Monday or Tuesday. In the meantime, is it completely safe to drive on them? Could it cause any damage to suspension or anything else? Should I avoid going over a certain speed?
Just trying to figure out if I should be adjusting my driving style at all over the next few days while I wait for new tires/balancing/alignment.

Dude, driving on feathered tires is ok, but definitely not recommended, if you know what I mean... I've driven on some messed up tires over the course of my life, but depending on how badly yours are feathered, I might advise to stay home for a while. Might. You have pics?
