[QUOTE="ANGREY, post: 16307613, member: 188865"] Everyone moans about tramlining and they're relieved when it's gone, but the reality is, tramlining = traction. When someone says "I swapped and no more tramlining" that means the front tires aren't gripping as well. If the trade off is acceptable to you, awesome. My point is, there's no free lunch. There's no tire out there that is the answer to all things to all people. If it's top notch grip, it ain't going to be cheap, it ain't going to be worth a shit in rain or cold weather and it ain't going to last very long. Conversely, if it works well in the rain, if it's economical, if it lasts a long time, if it works at peak performance over a very wide range of temps, then it's PROBABLY not going to perform AS WELL in max dry, Summer conditions. The same tradeoff happens with brakes. I see guys all the time say "swapped and no more dust or noise!" well, yeah, that's because either the setup is A) crazy expensive, B) Has less initial stopping power or C) Fades more. Rarely is there a silver bullet that resolves all issues and it's almost always a tradeoff. If you want tires that are gonna be worth a shit in cold weather, they're not going to perform as well in the Summer. [/QUOTE]
