The Euro tramlines; some cars do, especially the more sporty ones.

I really think this "issue" isn't that much of an issue and has got blown completely out of proportion in this thread.

The first thing is to check your tyre pressures -- and LOWER them!

Increasing tyre pressures will increase tramlining. More pressure means harder tyre, means more likely to be thrown off line. Softer tyre pressures act like a cushion.

Perhaps start with the tyre pressures recommended in the manual -- there's a reason why manufacturers recommend tyre pressures -- because they've checked what works best for the car!

How does tyre pressure have to do with my situation?

Happened from 5000klm's ....checked my tyre pressure before I took it too Honda, cause i thought it might be that. Tyre pressure was same as specs always have been.

If it was as simple as tyre pressure then why did honda dealership adjust my k-frame? Why not just say it was tyre pressure adjust them and goodbye.

And as far as tyres are concerned worst tram tracking I've ever experienced with the REO40's.

I have michelin pilot sport (preceda II) now and am experiencing "NIL" tram tracking. EXCELLENT TYRES. And tyre pressures are in spec

Also I must add that Yokahama's ADVAN, Dunlop sport 3000a are of equal standard, due to there asymetrical designs, which help with tramlining.

Here you see there is a trend forming...ASYMMETRICAL even bridgestone is following e.g

(TOP) michelin pilot sport (preceda II)
(BOTTOM) Yokahama ADVAN (sport V103).
