Opinions on new front tyres (tram lining)

[oxblood8]

Hi all,

I was just after some opinions on changing the front tyres on my factory 20" 214's. Basically I have been experiencing some pretty bad tram lining. The car just wanders all over the road and its very unpleasant. I had a wheels alignment done recently (it was way out) but that didnt really help at all. I have since swapped my wheels back to the 18's I had on it originally (they look terrible).

I was speaking to a mate of mine this morning and he has 19's on his X5 and was experiencing the same thing in regards to tram lining. He got a new set of tyres on the front and now says its brilliant.

On the 214's I am running Bridgestone Dueler RFTs. The front are becoming quiet worn so was thinking, would changing them to brand new tyres alleviate the tram lining. I was just after some opinions as it would cost me about $800 to change the tyres, and if you guys think there will be no difference then I wouldn't go ahead with changing them.
