My car is tramlining excessively. I have 17's with p6000's. Is this normal w/ 17's?

Default what offset are the wheels? cos incorrect offset can cause tramlining so can control arms

Default The term 'tramlining' describes the errant automotive behaviour where ...

the car wants to follow longitudinal grooves in the road, rather than obey the driver's steering input.

Here's the whole article if you want to know more:<ul><li><a href="http://www.autospeed.com/A_0879/page1.html">About Tramlining</a></li></ul>

My car tramlines fiercely with Sumitomo HTRZII. It's very tire-dependent.

Default easy buddy. My thinking is that the only people with P6000 with 17" rims are those...

who got them on stock rims from the dealer. That's because nobody in their right mind would buy P6000s if they had a choice of something else ;-)

Also, it's in his pic poster, like armoara said.

No need to call eachother names.
