Just got a new set of tires. My Perellis got me 35k miles. Got a set of Michelin Sport Pilot AS3's 245/50-19. So far so good. One thing I noticed is I no longer get that jerky feeling in the steering wheel when the road has grooves in it. The Michelins track straight on all roads. They grip too. With the perellis I could easily break the tires hitting second and sometimes third. I can still break them in second but you still feel a good bite. Third gear can no longer break them. Overall they seem like a good tire. By the way just found this old HotRod movie I saw when I was a kid. Found it on YT....

Movie made in 1967.

I tramline something fierce in the rear moreso than the front. I assume it is the -1.2 camber and rutted country roads as it is less noticable on 4-lane blacktops (my own movie reference for this thread to continue the theme, but no video attached.)

With complete stock 2010 early build suspension, I would bet it is amplified by bushing movement too.

Anyone agree with me or disagree? Wanted Pedders bolts to get back to more neutral alignment, but they went out of business. Wanted Pfadt everything else, but they went out of business.

Thanks OP for letting me hope that new tires might help a bit instead of the stock P-Zeros.
