Discount tire has them for $274 / $275 for the stock ZL1 sizes, very cheap. The current set have over 10k miles and the fronts tramline terrible. I bought the car used with about 3500 miles on the clock so I have never had experienced these tires new.

Pros / Cons? Do they tramline new?

I have narrowed down my finalists to the Nitto G2s, Continental Extreme Contact sport, and the Supercar 3s. The SC3s are so cheap it might be a no brainer to get them.

The Continental's are going to be the best all around tire, excellent dry traction and excellent wet traction. The Nitto's are going to be a step below the Continental's in both dry and wet traction. The Goodyear's have excellent dry traction but rather average to poor wet weather traction and it only gets worse as the tire wears down and they don't last long. That's the best way to summarize it.

That’s a great deal can’t beat that price!

More negative Camber = more tramlining.

Wider tiers = more tramlining.

New vs. Old tire... well new tire will grip better (usually) ... so yeah = more tramlining.

All tires above about 255 width are going to tramline, and the wider they are the worse that gets.

IMO, run flat tires are the ones that tramline the worst. I had to look this term up but I've experienced this with my 2012 135i.

I bought the car new in 2012 and it came with some kind of run flat tire. They were 215/40/18 on the front and 245/35/18 out the back and boy did they not like the uneven pavement or ruts in the road caused by the heavy vehicles.

I swapped to a all season tire (non runflat) with a 225/40/18 and 255/35/18 setup after about 1500 miles of owing the car and this issue went away after putting on those tire.

Continentals' are better than the MICHELIN PILOT SPORT 4S?

Tend to agree it's a car issue. No tramline on my new SC3's and actually I really like 'em!

[race24x]

My SC3s where good as far as tramline. They do seem to wear quick, but softer tires will. I tried Conti DSw06 and hated them. I Literally sold them used after 250 miles and went back to the SC3s. They tramlined way worse and didnt seem to have the traction the GY had. Just my .02

Just a step below, you'll get 90% of the performance of the Michelin PS4S. Both are fantastic tires.
