Holy Tramlining!

[newmoon]

When I had my 19 I was always afraid when a cop would pull up behind me that he was going to pull me over for DUI due to my tramlining.

Any idea as to what your alignment settings are? You seem to be the leader when it comes to cup 2 mileage.

No track days and all street use which is everything from back county roads to smooth interstate. All type of weather. The Dealership installed the HP camber plates and I asked for a street aliment. Sorry I never asked what the numbers were. Wish I did. I wonder if they were put in the work order?

Switched out to 4S's and tram lining is gone without any other changes

See a lot of comments on the alignment - does anyone have suggestions on optimal settings?

I replaced the Michelin's with the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06. The tramlining is completely gone, makes driving a lot more enjoyable.

I second the alignment recommendation. I had cup 2 tires and they were downright dangerous driving in some areas but I did an alignment and it got rid of about 40% of the tramlining intensity then I switched to PSS tires and now 95% tramlining GONE! No more dangerous white knuckle moments.

I did max oem negative camber possible both front and rear (2 front and 1.9 rear)and a tiny bit toe-in are my general settings and they made a huge difference.

I went to zero toe and it helped.

Steeda brace did nothing

Do you track with the DWS’? I’m still wanting the grip on the track and can’t afford a separate track wheel/tire set up right now so I’ll be using the new wheels for the street and track.

I’m also finding a limited availability of 315/30/19 for the rears. I am finding a good amount of 325’s to stagger with 305’s up front. I’m installing steeda’s caster/camber in the front as well as putting on their dual rate springs for magnaride all the way around. Does anyone have any experience with that set up and 325’s in the rear? Any rubbing? Or issues that I might run into with it being lowered just a little?

No, I don't track, just a daily driver for cruising. I don't think Conti makes a 315/30/19 DWS anyway, but they do have that size in the ExtremeContact Force. It really surprised me when I drove it home with the DWS. No tramlining at all. Noise level is about the same.

Stock GT350.
MP4S
325/30/19 rear
305/30/19 front

No rub on track (have 3 track days on them at thunderhill East).

I have the stock MPSS on my 350 and will need to replace them eventually. I track a couple of times per year. in your opinion:
1. good track tire for standard track days?
2. How much did the 30's lower the front splitter?

1) Yeah for only 2 a year I'd still consider it. I'm a noob and these were my first 3 track days. I am getting ton of feathering at the edge of the tire and they feel slick at the end of the day. However, they're fantastic street tires so a decent compromise.
2) Tire calculator tells me maybe ~0.5"? That seems about right.

Anyone have experience with Yokohama Advan’s Apex on their mustang?

I'm trying to decide between the Pirelli P zero and the Michelin 4S. I don't want to deal with tire heat up and the trammeling anymore. Any suggestions from guys who have driven both?
Thanks

I have my Michelins under the house, replaced them with Continentals. They tramlined bad, the DW6's are great.
