ISTR?

Entwood has these tyres and they work for him and chrisgixer approved. Does entwood have the irmsher setup? Mine is standard elite. Grip is good though

Entwoods is standard Elite, afaik, just with poly rears, I think. It drives very straight.

What's the exact tyre you have? Size, load, speed rating, and any other info on the sidewall that might be relevant.
What pressure?

And how worn are they?

They are barely a month old, I believe.

As you know Chris, I have poly rears and lemforder WB so pretty much the same setup

I have 235/45/17 97Y XL

pressure are currently 32psi front, 33 rear

Had 32psi front and 34psi rear (as that is what worked for entails) I found the ride a bit hard. Nearly brand spanking new, month and a half or so

Web site says 94w in that size for omega. But lets see what Entwood comes back with as to what he has fitted.

Sorry to hear of this though.

I was referring to the tramlining set

[SMD]

As Chris says they are a month old.

They are on standard elite 17" wheels. So I believe that is the correct size

I would like to add Goodyear Eagle asymmetric 2 to that category. Mine are tramlining  and its not the suspension or the setup 

every tyre can tramline on a "proper" road..  I'm using them , and they gave the grip I need .. if they tramline , I hold the steering stronger and thats it.. and I wont gave up for them for that reason..

Ahh... Have you done enough miles to get rid of the release agent? And (without meaning to patronise ) have you checked pressures and that they're rotating the correct way?

In to this late, as only back tonight the Eagles have just done 1129 miles in 3 days ... wether varied between dry and 10 degrees to - 4 degrees over the mountains this morning .. thursday was damp, misty. foggy all the way, today started in damp, went to rain, followed by snow (settling as slush) to more rain then eventually it dried up around Birmingham ... I've refilled the screen washer bottle twice, and it started full !!! Car is filthy ..

Tyres have not given any problems, no tramlining - pressures set at 34 front 38 rear - slightly higher than normal as 3 adults + kit and averaging around 75 ish for hours at a time ...

Don't know if its a mixture of the tyres/polybushes, but road noise is slightly higher than the old tyres, ride is certainly a little firmer .. no bad thing as my daughter used to feel ill and the "wallowy" back was thought to be the cause .. no problems this time round.

Certainly happy with the eagles

Hi Entwood , if you get a minute, can you post tyre size, load and speed rating for us...?

Or did I ask you this once before? Forgive my poor memory if so.

[SMD]

I have done 500+ miles on them. Pressures were checked last weekend and they were ok. Will check them tomorrow. Tony suggested I drop the pressure on the fronts slightly so will try that but TBH they already look under inflated at 32psi

I will post that info tomorrow Chris

[cem_devecioglu]

for those interested, just put tyre "name, model and tramline" word and google it..
 
for every tyre you may find an owner talking about tramlining..
 
but high performance tyres "interestingly"  without exception..

Depends on the tyre, as to what I'd run, but 32 front and rear is standard pressure. But on other tyres i've run as low as 28psi, and as high as 36psi for an uploaded car.

97 load rating is quite high, and Extra load (XL) gives the side wall further stiffness. There are theory's on XL tyres tram lining more. But that's a pointless discussion as it won't help you now. But I think Tony is implying the stiffer side wall of the 97 XL might benefit from less pressure to give the sidewall a chance to flex, and in theory, transmit less road imperfections through the sidewall to the rim.

It's certainly worth playing with. Pump up to say 36psi, then drive it. Release 1psi at a time and drive it each time pressure is changed, until you find the best setting.
