This is the tire tendency to follow road irregularities such as groove left by heavy trucks.
Kind of fighting with your steering wheel to change lane or keep it going straight.
Like you're riding on rails that steer the car instead of you! As tramways do!
Larger (245mm + ) low profile tires are more prone to this effect, when the contact patch is wider than it is long, tramlining is more likely to occur.
I think the main reason for tramlining is the tire design.
Some says that more longitudinal grooves in the tire = more tramlining.
In my case, with a 2000 Mustang GT, no sign of tramlining with new Pirelli P7000 245-45-17, but as they wear, it become present.
With Michelin Pilot MXGT H4 245-45-17, there is so much tramlining that it was dangerous.
Just in between with used Michelin Pilot Sport 225-50-17, they tramline but are not dangerous.
With Toyo Observe G0-2 (winter tire ), 205-65-15 , absolutly no tramlining at all, never, in any road condition.

Tire wear, vehicle handling and gas mileage.

Will a P195 65 R15 tire replace an OE P205 75 R15 tire for a 1998 Isuzu Hombre 2wd?
It will fit, but if you are talking about replacing just one tire, I wouldn't recommend it. The shorter profile of the tire will adversely affect handling on corners and possibly straight line handling. If you are replacing 2 tires or all 4 tires then handling won't be affected. On a 2-tire replacement, make sure the new pair is mounted either in the front or the rear -- not one on each. Normally on a 2-wheel replacement it is best to put new tires on the front, as the front tires tend to wear down more quickly.

What is the 2004 Honda shadow aero 750 tire pressure?
Honda recommends a psi of 33 for the tires. This recommendation is too low and is made for ride comfort, not handling or tire longevity. A combination of 38/40, 40/40, or 40/42 will greatly extend tire life and improve handling. This info comes from rattlebars.com
