I had it much worse with my OEM tires and old alignment. After the new tires and alignment I was shocked at the difference.

Solved the tramlining issue by ditching runflats. Done.

I used to experience it all the time with the GY tires. It's completely gone after switching to RE-11s and pfadt street spec alignment.

Yes.

My Z06 was much worse than my Vert. My Stingray is somewhere (with the stock tires) in between.

The Z51 and GS/Z06 alignment specs are more prone to it than the base coupes/verts.

The PFADT alignment settings virtually eliminated it for me too, and I'm on my second set of Bridgestone Potenza RF's on my GS. The alignment settings also allowed me to get around 30k of mileage from them too, which included some track time.

Not until I did a widebody conversion. With 285/35/19 on the front and 345/25/20 on the rear, the car finds all the imperfections in the road and pulls, especially at highway speeds...
