Tram lining
 
Ive been dealing with tram lining for year, my tire are worn out might be 2/32, what tire model should i get or what spec to look for to reduce tram lining? Comfort? Tread life? All season tire?

What size tires are you running. When we still had the wife's X it had 9.5 and 9 inch low profile tires. They would tramline much worse than the 17" tires on mine. In fact, mine hardly does it at all.

I got the 18 high profile for winter, its perfectly fine but for summer i have the 4.8is wheel which is 20inch low profile and its tram line as hell

The 20 inchers are what we had on the wife's X. They're very wide and wide tires will tramline more than narrower tires due to the larger contact patch.

I would look though reviews at tire rack and if you unlike me slow for corners figure out a slightly thinner slightly higher ratio tire that won't steer itself so much
