Default Tire Feathering Question - 2000 S4

I have a 200 s4 and I have notcied some road noise while driving. I checked the tires tonight and noticed my front tires are "Feathering". I have had the alignment done recently, although I still notice a bit of pull to the right. Someone told me it may be my toe-in setting, or a bad bushings on the front. Does that make sense?

Is your car lowered?
if so there will always be more negative camber than stock. Try rotating your tires , if the backs are wearing smooth then they will correct the cupping.

Thanks for the info. The car is not lowered, but I am going to swing by my mechanic tomorrow and check the settings. I hope it's a simple TOE correction.
