I define tramlining as when the tires follow every rut and groove in the
roadway. When I first switched from radials to bias ply, I couldn't believe
how darty it was. The car would change lanes under braking for Turn 2 at
Pacific Raceways. Giving the car a bit of toe-in helped a lot, but man, what
a ride! Even with toe-in, those bias plies hate driving on a rutted road.
The radials did not have this tendency.
