What size are they?

You will find that most low profile tyres will track / tramline a bit...

With that tread pattern i wouldnt have thought they would tramline, but you didnt say how wide they are. A bit more caster might help - what did you get your alignment set to?

265/35 R19 on a 9.5'' rim and caster is set 5 deg.

Thanks

firstly more castor won't help with tramlining. if anything it makes it worse.

and 265/35s on a 32 GTR are always going to give you a fair amount of tramlining. very few road cars would have such a wide, low profile tyre on the front wheels. and considering the standard size is 225 you can see why there would be a problem.

in my opinion 19s on a 32 are too big. 17s are great, 18s good too. 19s purely if you like the look as they don't have any advantages handling wise or traction wise over good 17s or 18s.

Hi there i have the Kumho ku31's also found that they are a great tyre. i have 265's at the rear with 235's at the front. Dont seem to tramline.... overall a great tyre i think

You are running a hub centric hub ring right? on all 4 wheels?

^^ Me too on MY R33 on 18s. They drive really well. Cheapish tyre but good for around town. Bit scary in the wet sometimes!!!!! All fun and games.
