That actually makes some sense. EMT's will have a stiffer sidewall, contributing to more rut wander, or "trammeling"

I learned a new word today!

"Trammeling" is why I try to drive to either side of the main tracks when this happens.

I had this problem develop years ago when I owned a 1986 GTA Trans Am. It turned out to be the tires wearing out. As soon as I replaced the tires with the same exact type (Eagle Gatorbacks) the car drove like new.

My Z06 had the back tires sideways hop until I put on Coilovers, then it went away.

It's the tires. Runflats are known for this.

When I first bought my C4, it was down-right dangerous on a road that was grooved.

Turned out to be a camber problem on the rear wheels.
