How come the s550 tramlines so bad?

Agree, driver skill level 0.1, learn, know how to correct for the road inconsistencies. Or sell his car and buy a beginner car.

I thought he's already driving a 5.0 Mustang?

Spend the money now, and live life like it was meant to be. It's too short to drive 460hp on bad tires.

And you'll cheer up poor bernanke who is crying wondering where all the consumers have gone to. Hey, it's only debt... More debt, more prosperity.

My thinking is that's a problem in itself .. rotate tires with oil changes ....... SMART

when ford does oil changes, they mark off on the paper they do tire rotation. i wonder if they actually do though. maybe when i go in this summer i'll mark a tire and see if it's rotated lol

People keep suggesting alignment as the cause. I'd ask if you have uneven tire wear? Feathered edges, inside or outside wearing center, edges, anything unusual?

Back in the day, I'd say most like yes today it's a crap shoot..

You wont see anything obvious for the type of toe issues I suspect, the car may just be too darty.

I tramline only on midline to borderline bad roads, but I am running 295/35/ZR19x11s with 779 mile (79 of those track) Michelin 4PSs. On good roads she is straight as an arrow with my hands off the wheel, since track alignment done by a REAL PERFORMANCE shop (-2.9c/0toe front, -2.0c/0toe rear).

Is the car lowered? S550's need these https://www.steeda.com/steeda-s550-mustang-irs-subframe-alignment-kit-2015-all-555-4438.html to stop it.

TY! Good to know! Just bought a 2024 GT; I'll be keeping my eye out for this issue (only 120 miles so far, haven't noticed it yet). I'm thinking if I "do" run into this issue my dealership will be in chrfge of fixing it!
