Hm I seem to have the opposite effect...my new tires cured a good 75% of that. I guess the stock ones were getting bad and the car couldn't go straight on uneven roads unless I firmly held the wheel with both hands.

It seems like when i get up to about 40-50mph range the car pulls left and then pulls right and like you said have to hold on with both hands.I have to figure something.Id hate to sell my camaro for something stupid.Is this tires size too wide for the front?

Hi On20Z,
when I changed from thes 16" stockers to 275/40R17 (offset 40mm only) all around, I found the same behaviour in my car. It wants to follow nearly every uneven surface on the road and tramlining is very hefty.
I expected something like this, but not as extreme as it is now.
Even an alignment procedure could not help, it seems to be the nature of the beast. One thing I can promise... You will get used to it sooner or later...

P.S.: Hoping my shocks and springs upgrade in the near future will help a little...
