Tramming? I assume that means tracking in the road grooves, right? Nope, with the size I'm running haven't had that problem at all. This tire is prolly the stickiest out of all the ones that I've had so far.

Firestone SZ50 previous gens (255/45-17), Dunlop SP 5000 (245/45-17) and now these (225/55-17).

Wear out fast? Nah, I havent had that problem yet. I've had mine about 34K miles now and I still have a ways to go before I reach the wear bars.

I think it really depends on your driving style. While I like to take the hard corners - I don't drop the hammer at every stop light. If you feather the gas (most of the time) on takeoff, the tires will last a while.

Oh and these are some sticky spring, summer , fall tires - even in rain. Only reason I decided to try them was because the reviews were so good at tirerack.com and I'm glad I did
