Cem, you recommended sc5 to me!
well , if I really did, you deserve the best tyre
Except someone else took the advice.
correct tyre wrong size
Not with you.
Neither am I actually... I'm sure that the tests are the benchmark that the advice was given against and they must test all tyres the same size on the same vehicles
Basic logic. It's dispels the myths and legends.
Wider tyres tram line. NO !
Experience to back this up=conti sc3 mo. 245 wide tyre drives dead straight. 235 wide tyre tram lines needing numerous corrections at the wheel, pulling around on bad surfaces. Conclude, the wider tyre tram lines the least.
Wider tyres might be more likely to tram line, but the width itself is not the cause in itself.
Low profile tyres tram line. NO!
Sc3 mo exact same profile tyres as above, one tram lines, one doesn't. They might be more likely to tram line in a low profile, but the low profile itself is clearly not the cause. Another example, 235 45 17 falkens 912 452 and 451 tram line MORE than the lower profile 40 MO. the wider and lower 245 40 18 doesn't tram line at all.
It's not the size that's the exact cause. Example, sport maxx TT in 235 45 17 tram line less than any other car I've been in.
It's not the tyre wear that causes tram lining as such. Example, half worn FALKEN 912 tram line way way more than completely worn out SP9000. In the same size.
It's not specific to the car either, as the example above. Remove FALKEN 912 from a tram lining car, and fit worn out Dunlop sp9000 or sport maxx gt, and the car drives perfectly straight.
EVERY SINGLE MYTH or "RULE" regarding tram lining has been proved wrong. Except the ones relating to construction. Speed rating, load rating, run flat, non run flat, all have more effect. But I have a theory that, like trouser measurements and shoe sizes, one manufacturers load rating is not the same as another's. construction of the tyre is up to the maker. We'll never know whats in there, but we can keep an eye in how they perform.
