Running the stock pirelli's on stock wheels. Do these tires tend to follow the uneven parts of the road and steer the car and pull it? Ran Pirelli on my Audi S4 and S5 but never had this problem. Figured I'd ask before I start replacing sway bar links and steering components with upgraded parts.

It’s called tramlining…have your tires and alignment checked before you start throwing money at parts that won’t fix it.

On our roads, which are really bad, I notice some tram lining, but it isn’t horrible. Just slightly noticeable.

I would check and see if you have your lane assist on !!!! The lane assist makes the car feel exactly like that ! Just turn off lane assist and drive it like that for a few days and see if that feeling wrnt away . There is a good chance it will go away .
