I had recently been talking about the wonderful tramlining we get in our cars. I had ordered new wheels/tires with the hope of it making it better if not fixing. I know there has been about a 50/50 rate of success. Well, just got the new conti pure contacts and wheels put on yesterday with an alignment. It has so far totally corrected the problem for me. Its as if it was never there. Could not be happier with the results. Not sure how to post a pic but I'll try to get one on here later.

I don't believe I've seen you before, so ... Welcome to NicoClub!

Glad to hear you're enjoying your new shoes. Lots of peeps on here have those and speak quite highly of them.
There is an FAQ section in the forum with instructions about how to do most anything to your M, including how to post pics. Here is the link:

Welcome to NICO. Lots of good stuff on this site. I put Conti's DWS on my M about a year ago. Could not be happier, No tram and so far they have worked great as advertised in dry, wet or snow conditions. My OP. You made a good choice in new shoes for your ride!

I also agree. Have had the Conti DWS on for three years now. Have been great in all weather conditions and big improvement over the RSAs.

I have a 2011 M37X that my wife will not drive. Unless you are on PERFECTLY flat road surfaces the car darts from side to side. When you add ice ruts or snow or rutted highways it is dangerous and it is almost always very difficult to go straight without constantly making steering corrections. The car has only 32,000 kilometers ( about 20,000 miles) and the original 245X50 18 Michelin Primacy MXM4 tires that show no signs of wear. The Infinity dealer recently checked all the suspension components and found the alignment to be within factory specs. They could only offer that I should call Infinity Canada.
I have entered a complaint to the NHTSA and am realizing that this is a widespread problem.
Is there a correction for this problem?
Will tire replacement help?

Wow, I didn't know that this was still a problem with the m37. For an issue like this to be in place on all the cars from 2006 to 2011 is a SERIOUSLY EGREGIOUS oversight that Infiniti obviously feels they don't have to fix. I sincerely urge EVERYONE here to go to the NHTSA and file the complaint about this to the point where Infiniti looks into this to fix it, otherwise I fear it will continue until someone runs off the road. The fact that it's still a problem makes me even more angry. I'm filing it right now. Please, everyone take a min and do the same, forget this temp tire fix.
