I have heard that lower profile tires also tend to "tramline" more than normal ones, i.e. they follow the grooves in the highway a lot more... not sure if it is true.--JJB--

well i know that its not the tires following the lines on the highway becouse i feel that on my bike all the time and im used to it, i also doubt that its becouse im not used to sticky rubber, i used yoko parada's on my probe all the time...i dont know what it is...you think maybe i got bad tires?

Lowering the car won't make the problem go away.
I think it is just the tires following the grooves in the road. It used to always happen to me, I actually got used to it.
Also you didn't mention what type of tires you have.
I think you probably just pushed the tire a little to much in the corner and didn't realize the warning that the tire was giving you that it could break away.

i know that it is not the tires following the road becouse it does it on perfect brand new roads with no lines, and i did metion that i had falken ziex 512's and they are not breaking away becouse it feels loose when i barley swearve around and if tires gave that easy they wouldnt be on my car...
