What is tramlining?
Hi all
What is tramlining and how do you eliminate it please? Julian |
tramlining is when a car is difficult to steer and just pulls in a straight line or follows a groove in the road. can be caused by too wide wheels, groves in the road (travel along the inside lane ont he m1 where lorrys have been and you'll feel exactly what it is).

Cheers mate

I find on my car that when the tread on the tyres get low then they start to tram-line.

A decent wheel alignment with help to stop the wandering when the car is under load as well... powerstation will be able to sort that out Julian :thumb: but as Rob has said it can be influenced by what brand of rubber is fitted on the car.
Rob am I correct in thinking a lot of peeps use the RE070's for summer use ? |

try driving a coach to london along the M4 on the inside lane its not fun when its windy...... the coach wants you to stay in the "tramline" but the wind wants you out.......
result...... coach slightly lifting out then geting sucked back into the grove..... not fun.... i try an stay in the middle lane... at least it gives a good excuse for the BMW drivers to sit in the BMW lane lol |
