You know, funny you should say that because I do feel it but only under heavy braking sometimes. I do think that it's mostly because of the camber wear of the tires though, they were in the rear and the inside was pretty bald. I put them in the front to get more life out of them but now that I'm riding mostly on the outside edge (much less worn side) of the tire, there is something like a tramlining feel. I'm not complaining, I didn't have to pay for front tires and these will last a while being in the front
I'm sure that once I put new 285s in the front (or even once the ones I have wear down to a more even level) the slight tramlining feeling will go away. I mean, there's many cars with tires this wide or wider (like the new Viper with 295s upfront and Camaro Z/28 with 305s all around) so it can't be a bad thing. One thing is that wider tires do tend to hydroplane easier, I haven't had the luck to drive them in the rain yet (I live in Las Vegas
) but I'm sure it's not going to be too bad, again, other cars come with tires this wide or wider from the factory.
