I found that tramlining got a lot worse as the original bridgestones wore down. So that could be it. I got some F1s for about £100 a corner.

Definetely the tyres
My Potenzas (SO3's) tramlined better than an inter-city 125
Found that upping the pressure to around 34psi front, 32psi back, helped considerably but...........................they're still crap

Recently had laser wheel alignment done by TSL and was very pleased (about 2000 miles ago). Also recently went over a vicious and un-spotted speed-bump rather too fast (airborne! - no flames please) and had to wonder what it might have done to the alignment.
Shortly after, I start to notice quite bad tramlining. The tracking seems OK on a perfectly tarmac'ed road (eg. motorway) but squirms all over the place on A and B roads.
It's still running the standard types (Bridgestone Potenzas I think) after 10.5 K miles. Fronts are a little worn but certainly not illegal.
Do you think I need to get the wheels realigned or am I being a paranoid (and slightly ignorant) motherf. ? I read in passing on a number of other threads that scoobies start tramlining when tyres are worn - should I just go and buy some new GoodY. F1s instead?
