Tramlining - Tramlining is a condition which occurs when an extremely wide, low profile tire with a lot of surface traction & contact patch causes an unpleasant response through the steering wheel. When tramlining occurs, the tire wants to follow the grooves and crowns of the road. The wider the profile of the tire, the more it wants to "drive itself". You will notice this in the steering wheel over uneven road surfaces. Proper tire inflation can help dramatically reduce this problem.
