My C5 had significant tramlining when I purchased it at 19k miles and was running old clapped-out Goodyears. Replaced those with Hankooks and it all went away immediately and is still perfect 14k miles later.

I noticed some tramlining on my 2013 427 after purchasing new. The OEM tires were the Michelins. An alignment done at an indy shop corrected it (their equipment was a Hunter Hawkeye). Now have 7k miles on the car and happy.

You must be on wet pavement all the time. I've found my Hankooks to have some of the best traction of any tires I've owned.

I agree with comments that it's the wide tires and shoulder design. I live with it and enjoy the car!
If the pavement is in good condition, I have no problems.
