Tramlining is the tendency of a vehicle's wheels to follow the contours in the surface upon which it runs

Bit weird how they blame it on bad tires. If their s a rut in the road, your tires can be the best and could still get caught. You look at the inside lanes on some parts of the motorways and you can do nothing but get stuck.

Jump in a hawkeye with Bridgestone RE070's and you will learn quickly what tramlining is!

Ditto that one. Bridgestones on a Blobeye Sti were the same. Changed to Goodyears and goodbye tramlining tyres and a more pleasurable drive.

I was always under the impression that stiff sidewalls contributed to tramlining.

it mainly to do with you wheels and the contours of the road. Thinner tyre width allows the wheel to move inside the goove of the road. Where as the wide wheels will become semi wedges in the contour.

Spot on mate, that's why the bridgestone tyres tramline, changed mine to toyo proxy's and have no tramlining at all now.

doesn't go round corners as well though

i agree totally with what you're saying though, it can be a right pain in the ****! driving along damp roads the last couple of days and the car wants to go all over the place, roads that the car glided along a week ago.

or maybe i've got a puncture, i really should look
