Tramlining?
#1
Just changed from Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3's (225/45-R17) to Yokohama AVS Sport (235/40-R18). Believe the Yoko is stickier than the Goodyear, and has a stiffer sidewall.
One thing I noticed instantly was that the car had a tendancy to follow the road crown and tramline more easily. On a similar stretch of road, the car would drift down the crown much quicker than before - alignment settings were untouched.
Would we say this is due to the:
1. 40 vs 45 profile,
2. stiffer sidewall,
3. 235 vs 225 width,
Or a combination of all 3?
Cheers.

Many thanks SS.
Have noticed that happen myself on my current 17" Bridgestone S-02 boots, however much prefer a little "tramlining" but with fantastic grip to the old Pirelli PZeros which I don't remember tramlining but made a guessing game of cornering.
