Hi guys -

I've got a 2013 G37x with 2 sets of 17" wheels (one for summer and one for winter).

I will soon need to replace my summer tires and wondering what would be a good tire choice in regards to minimizing tramlining.

On our previous 2009 G37x with the A/S-3, I never noticed it tramlining but with the snows on this newer car, it's starting to bug me (has worn winters on it). Maybe because lately I have been driving different cars and trucks and notice this car tramlines more than the old one....

I hate the feeling as it bugs me (perhaps a lot of it is in my head).

Any suggestions? the A/S-3 again (it seemed ok)..

I like a little comfort and medium performance.... (that's why the 17" wheels).

 

I'd shoot a PM to Neal@Tirerack.com since he deals w/ almost all the tire lines, should have some good options. Also sticking w/ a narrower tire width will help in that regard.

 

Thanks, I didn't know if 2 or 3 track days was enough to warrant a track wheel set. I supposed the question could be worded: Which is worse, summer tires on the track or all season tires in the winter. How are Michelin Pilot Super Sports in the rain?

 

 

Have you had the alignment checked? I developed a bit of a tramlining issue at one point (and like you it drove me nuts even though most people might not even notice). A small tweak of the alignment helped significantly.

 

Do you know if it was the caster they tweaked? Mine is at 3.9 (AWD car) but I have seen most RWD G's at 5.0 caster. My alignment guy said he could try and adjust the caster, but it isn't easily adjusted.
