can anybody advise,
i owned a 2000 x plate turbo saloon with 17" wheels and the car used to suffer really badly from tramlining, unexpectedly the car would grab a small lump or indentation in the road and pull across like mad,
recently i bought a wagon with standard 16" wheels on which was fine, ive just changed them for gold sti 16"s ( same wheels, different colour) and its started tramlinning like my last car!!
dont understand it there the same wheels?
any advice would be apreciated.
cheers ian.

The biggest problem will be with tyres, the 17's will be an improvement (ie less tramlining over the standard wheels/tyres) but it does really go on what shoes you put on your feet....
I myself run SO2 PP's on my 17's (unfortunately not available anymore :() but you could try the Toyo's or the Goodyear GSD3's as a replacement?

thanks for advice tony,
noted.

I also find that the more worn the fronts get, mine are pretty worn now, the worse tramlining and understeer becomes. Perhaps it is my imagination but thats what i find.

running F1s GDS2 on 17s all round at the mo

Best wishes

i had tramlining on bridgestone S03`s in 16" , but the S02`s in 16" before them were fine
i am now on 17" toyos and these are fine also
dont know if this is any help to you.

cheers guys,
all seems to be about the tyres then?

update guys, perfect now, had old tyres put on (michelin pilots) and perfect again,
all down to tyres as you suspected,
cheers for advice
