Default Tramlining - Goodyear F1/Proxes T1S /w 235/45 17"

Which tìre tramlines least? I have heard lots of good comments on F1's and T1S's - is there any new good tires out there you'd recommend?

I have factory 20 mm sport setup in my car.

Default If that is your biggest concern, I would consider...

going with a size 215/50/17 tire. Basically same rolling diameter. The wider the tire, the more tramlining becomes an issue. You will give up some performance, but there is always a trade-off - no free lunches!

Default It's just one factor - have heard that those aren't very prone to tramlining...

and after all, that is basically the only factor that is _NOT_ measured in the tire tests.

Default I've not noticed any tramlining with my F1 GSD3's

The CSC2's I had on prior did tramline pretty badly.
