What do you think?
Stickier tires generally tramline more. Also, worn tires generally tramline more than new tires of the same make and model.

Take what you hear with a grain of salt, as the majority of consumers don't have the qualifications or experience to make an actual conclusion like that.

95% of the members on this board run LESS sticky tires than the OEM sport tires, if that is any indication of the general consensus of the board.

Just came back from dealer earlier today! Did a test ride with foreman. He agreed steering wheel tilted bit to right so they adjust again and went for another test ride with mechanic who did the adjustments and I am finally satisfied!

It still tramlines a bit on bad roads but thats normal or a design flaw!

Probably swap tires end of summer but right now its pretty good. What surprises me is how quiet the oem tires are. Chalk it up to superb cabin insulation but even with windows down it sounds great!

What brand of tires did you have on G35?

I hear Michelins or Hankooks will help with the tramlining.

It's not the brand, but rather the type of tire you use.

Summer tires are more prone, and the stickier the tire, the more prone it is to tramlining.

Yeah get it checked out! I went 160 km/hr and it was quite stable but I don't do any fast lane changes though!
