This. There are some places with grooves around where I live and go that no matter what I do to the car, my car will still follow the grooves. I think some of it could be faulty stuff on these cars then some being the wider wheels/tires that most put on there cars.

well i dont know why but i dont have the issue anymore since i switched to 275/315 nittos my problem was really all in the tires. I have never had it alighned since ive owned it over the past year and it no longer follows ruts as bad as it did before the tire change

however i did switch to TT2 rims which are a bit heavier maybe the extra inertia keeps the steering from turning into the ruts as much

Mine was really bad when I had BFgoodrich KDW's in the front with shitty sumo 315's outback(Both front and rears are at 30psi). I switched to Continental Extreme contact DW's (which are badass tires by the way) up front and everything disappeared.
