the current 235/45/17 and 255/40/17 toyo t1-s does not tramline at all.

also it's not just the forces on the tires but the tendency of the tire to follow the groove/lines on the road surface.
I concede that I oversimplified things. And you're right, the tread design of modern tires has advanced by leaps & bounds in the last 5 years alone. Those are impressive results from the T1-S tires...:shocked:
