Re: Rut sensitivity One Twenty

I am fairly sure that your rut sensitivity is caused by your tire tread. Tires whose tread has only (or mostly) circumferential grooves tend to track with grooves in the road. It can be quite disconcerting. Here is a copy of a post by 32Pontiac6 from the AACA forums:

"One thing about tires is to look at the tread pattern.  I have three cars with three different tread patterns.  One that has the tread that only has grooves parallel to the road can track badly on concrete roads with grooves cut in them.  I have that problem here in CA with the tires on my '32 Pontiac with a wide tread pattern in the direction of travel."
