Why does my Focus suffer from poor handling?
My recently purchased Ford Focus 1.6 TDCI on 235/40/ZR 18-inch Michelin pilot Sport 3 tyres has a tendency to tramline made worse by the increased thickness of white lines.The car has done 9000 miles and I have had the tracking checked, but I'm told there is nothing wrong with it. Is this normal?

Throw the wheels and tyres away and fit 16-inch wheels with 205/55 R16 tyres. May then need re-aligning.
