Every car I've driven with wide tires tramlines. The track alignment makes it worse, by the way.

What toe and camber setting is best?? I don't plan to track the car and I absolutely hate this "driving on icy road" feeling on highways..

Nature of the beast .....c5/c6 are worse . Pick the left lane when possible to get out of the summer truck ruts , my 25 e is not as bad as my c5/c6 were .

I have the track alignment, and it makes the car twitchy in Tour mode. I simply max out the Z-mode settings, except for the transmision, I do that 1 notch down. The stiffer ride "helps". It's not perfect. When I go to Sebring in the Z, on HWY 29 from Labelle to State Route 27, that road is REALLY bad for it. Using a bunch of power to overtake a slower car can be "sketchy" because of it.

For the first week after I got my car I thought the tramlining was so bad it felt like the car was steering itself or "losing steering control" like you said. Turns out it was steering itself because lane keep assist was enabled from the factory. I turned it off (right by the hazard button above the rearview mirror) and the excessive tramlining feel went away.

None of my wide bodied vettes have suffered tram-lining after changing to A/S tires. Certainly an potential issue with max performance summer tires.
