Tracking
 
I have the stock Yoko Advans on my Z. I love the grip of these tires, except I feel they track to much. By tracking I mean they are very sensitive to road grooves. They tend to wonder around a bit on bad roads at speed. Any suggestions on replacements for a summer performance tire that tracks less. I'm on stock 18" wheels.

You might have already checked but your alignment can affect tracking also.

Give it a tad more toe-in. Btw that's called tramlining.

When they wear, they tend to "hunt" (imagine a Beagle with its nose to the ground. Great for when it's wabbit season. Not great for daily driving.)

I noticed this a bit too before I got a more aggressive performance alignment done. Now, it feels much better and tram-lining is decreased as well.

what was your final numbers? I just got the alignment done and I feel like I have a bit a tram-lining.

Post up your toe angles and unit.

I'm getting this too, mostly on the freeway, sometimes it will pull hard when it catches a groove. Wonder if some toe in will help.

My setup is Hankook Ventus V12 255/35/19, 20mm spacers, Eibach springs, Hotchkis front bar. Not sure what my alignment specs are, I guess that's where I should start first.
