if you're running RE050's it's prone to tramlining due to the stiff sidewall. not as bad as the old S03's, but it's still there.

for those running offset spacers it will be even worse.

is that with re050's or re050a's or the RFT's or the pole positions?

Some tires make this more noticeable.

Thanks Modshack. That was a good read. I was dumbfounded at first. Thanks for the helpful info.

Guys, I am more of a lurker here but I have seen ALOT of good and helpful posts from Modshack. I'm sure we can do better than a rep of 3! Come on guys if it was a good post then award rep points! :tup:

I haven't experienced this as of yet and I do agree with Modshack's assessment.
