Pirelli Road Tracking

[Cobrakit]

Haven't had the car (DH, non HP) that long and moved the 275 Pirelli Pzeros to the front. Car tends to follow lane markers, cracks and pavement seams, sometimes aggressively. Anyone else experience this? Never experienced this with Michellin PS4S tires, same size.

tramlining is always there on any car, it just gets more noticeable and more aggressive the wider you go on tires up front. Pirellis are also not that good to begin with compared to PS4s, so the steering feel will be worse. You may have not physically experienced it with previous setups because the tire was good. But it's always there, it's just how it works with tires making contact with the road

Yes, I have a DHPP and it’s following the ruts pretty aggressively, even small ones and it’s not the first car I’ve had that issue with.

You have short sidewall, fat tires making a lot of contact with the road, and they’re going to deflect off imperfections pretty easily.

This wasn't as apparent on my 19 GT PP1 with 275/35-20 PS4S. Current DH has stock 275/40-19 Pirellis. Very noticeable. When these tires wear out, will not be buying Pzero's.

First thing I did when I got this car was swap over to continental extreme contact sport 02s. Just as good as the MPS4s and both are way better than the pirellis from the factory. Think everyone should do this as the first step getting the car IMO

I've swapped out my OEM 265/35/20 all seasons for 285/35/19 summers up front (305s on the rear). My GT is definitely tramlining more now than with the 265s (I expected that based on previous experience).

UPDATE: So it wasn't the tires. Little did i know the car had "Lane Assit" and it was selected. I never knew it had all these automatic driving aids. It's now turned off.
