does anyone have a suggestion for which tires track the best. I have a 2005 sc 430 with 55K and have new Yokohama YK 580"s on it. On smooth roads it tracks perfectly but if there is any bumps or uneven road, it veers all over the place. I have had an alignment but that doesn't make any difference. At this point I am really frustrated--I don't care so much about high speed performance or bad weather performance--I just want it to go straight on all roads.

Please Help!!!

Change front tires to 235/45-18.

Not too much veering on my Conti DWS. Used to tramline a lot when I had Pirelli RFTs on the front but as everyone always says, getting rid of the RFTs has helped a lot.

I too bought Conti DWS and am very happy with them.

Try lowering your tire pressure to 28-30 psi, and see if that helps.

I had the same issue with my Yokohama S Drives that I had installed when I first purchased my car. And I just purchased the Continental DWS and could not be happier with them. I no longer have the problem of the car veering in either direction.

Dropped my pressure to 32 and happier. Running on P Zero RFT. Can not wait. Maybe 31 psi would be better.

RFT's suck. But I still have so much tread on my RFT's!

Costco has quoted Bridgestones and Michelins. Thinking of pulling the trigger and selling my RFT's.

im thinking about switching to the contis guys so this is kinda related, my car is now low from TTE springs and the Wald style kit...what size tires to you think I could run on my 18x8.5s which would maybe raise me a little bit off the floor without rubbing...the wheel wheel still seems to have decent clearence with 255/40/18 tires on either the front or back.

I love my Conti's. Standard wheel and tire, however. Can't help you on the clearance issues with bigger wheels.

I'm in the Michelin pilot sport a/s plus camp and really like them. However after 32k miles they are transmitting more road noise.
Still, i plan on getting another set in about 5-10k.
And will also put them on the 2012 acura tsx sport wagon i just got. after maybe putting 10k on oem tires.

BTW I'm at 7 on tread depth all around (they come w 10) and theyve ben rotated every 5k and are wearing surprisingly evenly.

My old tires (on the car when purchased) tracked funny like yours. Put on a new set of Pirelli P-Zero Nero shoes and did an alignment . Tracks straight on all roads .

When the tires get worn is when the tracking problem shows up.

Has anyone tried the Michelin Supersport Tires...they are rated highly but just wonder how they feel on an SC?
I would like to replace the original Dunlop Runflats that came on my car but would first like to know if anyone has already mounted these on their vehicle and what their opinion is about them...please advise!

Found the answer!!! Pirelli zero nero all season. Updated version of P6 I believe. Was about ready to sell car but these are terrific. No wandering or shaking of the steering wheel. Its a whole different car and most enjoyable to drive. Thanks for everyone's help..

I have read about the Conti's DWS...have to check this out.
