To those with 235/17's...
Do you guys feel the car "tramlining/tracking" quite a bit? Meaning the car wants to follow road imperfections quite a bit. I've done some major replacements to my front-end recently:
- LCA's
- end link bushings
- right inner-tie rod
- eiback/illumina/strut mounts/bearings (used) Illuminas set at 1 now after playing around with it
- alignment
Tire pressure is 35 front/34 rear. The car tracks very straight on the h/way with no vibration. Around town, it seems to tug left & right depending on the road. It did this before all the work was done. Seems it's worse when I switched from oem 15's to 17's, then again there was so much looseness before, I'm not sure if this is normal. I know that wider tires would cause more tracking when road ruts are encountered. I just expected it to be more apparent on the highway vs city streets.
Appreciate your input.
