Tramlining

[danb]

OK had the LCR a few days now, covered about 200 miles to and from work. The one thing that really stands out is how much is seems to follow the camber of the road. I find my self really holding onto the steering wheel.

Is this a common LCR trait, or is it something more sinister?

Giving it a good clean this weekend.........

I do not find a problem with mine. I did on my Integra when the tyres were lowish. Have you checked the tread on them?

Considering big wheels with low profiles on, I find my Cupra R to be impressively free of tramlining most of the time. My BMW was a nightmare when I got it, but went out and bought 4 new Goodyear F1's and had a 4-wheel geometry check done at the same time. It was pretty out wildly out at the rear (not sure if Leon's can be adjusted for toe in/out at the rear), and once I got it back it felt fantastic.

Check you tyres visually for even wear, check the pressure when stone cold, and if you don't find anything wrong, get the alignment checked.

Tyres look OK, what pressures everyone running then? Different front and rear?
