Tramlined a few months ago and almost crashed into a parked car.

Today, werent holding my steering wheel hard enough and the car tramlined, almost ploughed into a women on a low pavement. Jesus!

Although theyre at low speeds but still, think fitting big wheels shud be made illegal.

Tramlining is when lorrys or heavy good vechicles go on the road, they wear it down leaving like train track imprints, Sometime if you not holding the wheel correctly the wheels follow these lines.

Yup, any little crack down the road and away my motor goes.........not good! Slowly getting used to it though Believe its due to my chamber and more pressure being applied to the inside of my tyres

Mines good at the moment.

One of the tiebar brackets is fooked, so the car lurches to the side of the road every time I accelerate or decelerate. Great.
