everytime i say to people i have 13x 8 wheels they say 'ooooo bet they tramline like a rit bugger' and i laugh,

but think to my self huh? what they on about?

so i researched tramlining and realized what it is, so i don't need lectures on that thanks.

how come i never experience it or ever feel it?

do not all wheels do it? or what? i feel im missing out!

ive got a set of decent rubbers on as well if that helps....

Do you drive on motorways/A roads much?

Find a section where you can see the grooves from lorries on the inside lane! Its fun :D

maybe the roads round your way arnt all that bad - In my neck of the woods all the lorries from the quarries have made some serious indentations in the road and tramlining is almosy unavoidable - in the mini, the laguna and event the new fiat 500 !

I don't get any tramlining and i'm running 13X8 wheels as well, the normal thing that causes tramlining is too much negative camber and incorrect castor angle, a lot of people will stick 1.5 degree negative camber lower arms on and then lower the car when you lower a mini it gives more negative camber so you end up with 5 degrees negative camber....

That's basically it... with a suspension which is not set correctly even a mini on 10's will tramline.. or worse have a shopping trolley effect...
