Thanks

Sounds like over inflation, Steve. Check your pressures.

Thanks all will check on that . I was using the railway lines as a short cut to work  ;) looks likes it back on to the Motorways.

Thinking of moving the front to the back But which makes are good for avoiding tramming that i get now I have Conanental on the front lots of grip.

Thanks

I think Conti's are good (but dear).  Tramlining is probably due to worn suspension (wishbones/steering idler..?) or geometry setup.

Had the same problem with my last set of rears and is down to over inflation. I used to inflate them to recommended pressures but as they're non standard and lower profile I've found I need to drop down to around 30psi.

Thanks for that bob Just had a set of new ones on the front and have put the continanals to the back at 32 and the traimming seems a lot better. will keep an eye on the psi.  :y  

Called Tony at win and he told me that the having the continanals at the front can give Traimming because they have a directional banding. Told me to look at ones without this eg F1 as he told me that they have never had any probs with these ones and traimming,. Told that is of help to someone.   :y
