Which tires "tramline" least?
All,
I am getting ready to replace the tires on my Buick. I've rebuilt the front end with SC&C's Stage 2 Kit, replaced the lower control arm bushings, idler arm and sway bar end links. My wheel combo is in my sig. I am going to drop down to 235/45/17s in the front.
Even after rebuilding the front end, I am still getting some tramlining issues where the car wants to follow the traffic grooves. I am attributing this to the quite old Yokohama A520s on the car, so I am going to replace the tires.
I've searched but cannot find a specific answer to my questions - which tires don't exhibit the tendency to tramline. Oh yea, and since the Buick proves to be pretty hard on the rear tires, I am looking for a cheaper tire shat I won't mind replacing too often.
I am currently looking at the Fuzion ZRis. Does anyone have any experience with these or any other good recommendations?
Also, my alignment is set to SC&C specs.
