Mine does it too only just got 15" alloys, shit myself when i first experianced tramlining, thought i had a flat lol. Got used to it now though.

My tyres seem to get stuck in the potholes in the road and follow them, so i avoid them as much as i can now

how much would it cost to get the tracking done?

if the tracking isnt fixed what are the consequences?
thanks

If your bearings are worn, heavy braking can make your car pull to one side... have you heard any rumbling/grinding noises?

Depends how you want it to drive. If its twitchy now try letting a bit out. Low profiles should generally be run a bit harder than standard to prevent rim damage but you can go down to standard pressures if it doesn't drive well.

You will also get used to it if its tramlining. Its strange at first but you will begin to predict and fix it. Its only because you have less sidewall and more width.

cheers guys, i cant see it being faulty brakes as the problem has only started to occur since my new wheels 2 days ago.

I think Ian mensioned tire presure, now I dont actually know what tire presure my new wheels are ment to be at, They came inflated and i presumed at the correct level, now i have been thinking latley that maybe they are too hard as every ditch and bump in the road feels very rough on the wheels...

does any1 know what the average tire presure is for : 195-45-15.

cheers guys, really appreciate it :)

If it's randomly affecting both sides, then I wouldn't think the brakes are at fault.

Find some quiet flat road and do some emergency stops.

Tracking, tyre pressure, could also be that you're just experiencing the side effect of wider tyres known as 'tram-lining'.

or check around the front brakes to see if there are any leaks, etc.

tracking me thinks. Get that checked, if the tracking if fine get them to balance your wheels

just added a set of 15" alloys to my corsa B, and ive noticed when i brake i get a slight pull just to the left or the right on the wheel as i come to a complete stop.

If this a normal thing? I know my friend mensioned somthing along the sames line when he added his wheels.

Ifs its a silly quesation i apologise :thumbs:
