hi all i hear this word alot on here could someone please explain exac. what it is please thanks

 

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

Tramlining - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

and the stupid clipper lines on the side of Chav heads...

 

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.

 

Edit away

 

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

 

The worst tramlining i have had was with my my03 sti fitted with 19" alloys ... what a nightmare but looked good

@ Luckyscoob cant say i have noticed it in my car , maybe its better with the 18"ers ?

 

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.

After 1000 miles wear they just got worse and worse!


I changed to Toyo's..much better

 

ok thanks people it was what i thought and have experienced just didnt know what it was called lol

 

Buy my 19" Kahn RSV's and I'll throw in the tramlining for free LOL

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
