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.

What does 75 mean in a 29575R22.5 tire?

In a tire size designation like 29575R22.5, the "75" refers to the aspect ratio of the tire, which is the ratio of the tire's sidewall height to its width. Specifically, it means that the sidewall height is 75% of the tire's width of 295 millimeters. This aspect ratio influences the tire's handling, ride comfort, and overall dimensions.


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.


How does the interaction between a car tire pushing on the road and the road pushing back on the tire affect the vehicle's overall performance and handling?

The interaction between a car tire pushing on the road and the road pushing back affects the vehicle's performance and handling by providing traction and stability. This interaction allows the tire to grip the road surface, enabling the vehicle to accelerate, brake, and turn effectively. The road pushing back on the tire helps maintain control and prevent skidding or sliding, ultimately influencing the vehicle's overall handling and maneuverability.

Can 195 70 r14 be replaced with 185 70 r14?

Yes, a 195/70 R14 tire can be replaced with a 185/70 R14 tire, but there are some considerations. The 185 tire will be narrower, which may affect traction and handling. Additionally, the overall diameter of the tire will be slightly smaller, potentially impacting the speedometer accuracy and handling characteristics. It's advisable to consult with a tire professional to ensure compatibility and safety.
