Default do my tires track??

it seems as if everytime I drive im fighting with the wheel because the tires want to pull the car side to side once in a while...its just not smooth, I have some ventus high performance tires...very nice, but, I have a feeling they are tracking and its wearing me out, btw i got an alignment that was ok, it still needs to be adjusted slightly, but it seems like a tire thing....

I want to upgrade if this is the case...any ideas on a solid tire...

BTW I am going with some NITTO DR's in the back...

thanks

It's not your tires, it's the grooves in the road from thousands of cars running over the same patch of road wearing it down...

I've always had the same thing with the original 275 width tires, I think it's just that wider tires tend to track more. I'm going to 245 width on my next tires, for that reason.

My BFG KD's track worse then my PS2's and my GSD3's did. Much worse.

245's are too thin for a 9" wheel. I would advise against it.
