i have a 96 type ra and the car does some serious tramlining. my last car (fto) had a tendency to do it but the scooby starts pulling like its just seen a ice cold pint of optimax!
Anyone else have this problem?

I used to have this problem on my UKMY99 , since then I've changed all 4 tyres (from Bridgestone to Goodyear f1's)...And the problem seems to have gone .

The Bridgestones got worse as the the tread reduced, I found. The situation was improved a lot by increasing tire pressures, think I ended on 36psi front, 34psi rear. Maybe give that a try. Toyo's don't seem to have the same problem.
