I agree..When traveling on a section of I 75 that was recently repaved, the Z tracks like its on rails, but when I get to local roads that have been heavily traveled with trucking and the like, the wide tires have a knack of wanting to go in and out of the grooves. Again the tail tell indication seem to be a freshly paved area. Here in FL the heat and sun does and excellent job of melting roads...

I have the stock tires that came with the sports package.

Tramlining is worse with wider tires so I would expect those with the sports package to get it worse. I widened my fronts to 275 so the tramlining got a little worse.

Sounds like the tires are the problem.

Just came back from the Nissan dealer alignment issue / car pulling to one side

No...My Z does not pull to any side...the only problem I note, and its not a problem with the car, is that when driven on local roads that are traveled by heavy trucks, It likes to swing from side to side. This being a result of the grooves formed by the heat and the trucking. As I noted before, when I travel on the newly paved section of I 75, the Z tracks perfectly...
