but slow to reply , but I have the same problem with the p zeros and when I swap to winter wheels it goes away.

Aren't the winter wheels narrower though? That would make them less prone to tramlining than the normal ones.

True the winter wheels are narrower wheels, I just wanted to confirm that it is definately the wheels or tyres and not something else, the best solution would be to find someone nearby who would be generous enough to swap wheels for a while to prove it goes away.

'tis the tyres!!!
Happy with Michelin Pilot Sport 1 in summer (255-18) and "dunlop sp winter sport m2" in winter (225-18) and they match the load ratings

Its the difference between worn tyres and new tyres and how SQUARE they are on the road.

My old pilots did not tramline until it moved the backs (squared off) to the front. My new pilots ps2 don't tramline at the moment but I am sure they will start.

Its a 'feature' of 4WD.
Standard RS4 (is it the only standard one left?)
