Feathering on front tires

Passed my hand over the front tires, and noticed a slight feathering on both sides. Car has 6K+; tires were rotated once about 1.5K ago, and the winters were on for another 2K. Tires are the OEM Bridgies.
Does this sound like an alignment problem, or am I driving with a little too much exhuberance (ahem!) around turns?
Thnx,
Moon

Mostly caused by alignment issue.
Get a proper alignment and 'zero' the front toe. The rear unfortunately cannot be easily aligned unless u get shims. Stock configuration the rears are toed in. I'm told for highway speed stability on short wheelbase cars.
