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).

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 
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 ?
