yeah I hear that, I'm running 315 30 18s up front and some of the highways around nyc are "difficult". Kinda just got to let the car get in the rut and keep it guided in it. It'll ****** the wheel right out of your hand if you're not paying attention.
-.5 deg camber, +4.5 deg castor and about a 1/16 toe in seems to be about the best alignment I've gotten. 0 toe made it too tough/darty to drive.

It's called "tramming" or "tramling" guys. The shorter the sidewall, the stiffer and the wider the tire, the worse it is.

I have F1 275's up front with Sumi 315's in the rear and mines exactly the same way. All new bushings and alignment as well.

Good read right here, gents.

My car did it pretty bad also. With 275s on the fronts I had to hold on with two hands on certain roads in the area. Did my own alignment (1.4 cam., maxed, but equal cas. and 0 toe), my car is alot better. I can use one hand everywhere. Trammed with old tires before alignment, after alignment was alot better with old and new tires. I usually run 32psi in front and 30 in back.

Its the width of the tire, not the sidewall. When I had 275/17's up front mine was pretty bad, now im still running a 17" front wheel, but only a 225 tire and its EXTREMELY better, drives like it should now.

There's just too many contributing factor to just say, it's the wide tires causing it! You've got: alignment, bushing type and the condition their in, tire pressure, road surface and it condition, wheel offset, wheel width, wheel weight, and the combination wheel width to tire width ratio, tire construction. IMO, I would be inclined to think that the tires construction plays more heavily into causing tramling then the tire width does.
Just one factor doesn't cause tramling, it's a combination of factors that does it.

My 275/40/17s on OEM 17x9 ZR1s did follow ruts a little, well more than anything else I own, but my alignment wasn't perfect and the front suspension was about 16 years old. Now EVERYTHING is new and I have OE Wheels 17x11 ZR1s with 315/35/17s. Hopefully the alignment will be spot on and the better tires will help. Hopefully in a couple weeks I'll be able to see when it comes back out on the road.

Some cars will even pull because of the crown of the road
