I've read on a couple of threads recommendations that changing tire pressure on the OEM RFTs would change the tramling effect on the steering. What is the relationship between pressure and tramlining? More/Less pressure = more/less tramlining effect. TIA

I would love to know this as well!
We could figure this out ourselves... the freeway entrance by my place tramlines hardcore.

Higher pressure seems to decrease tramlining in my recent experience.

I found an excellent article on tramlining on the Tire Rack web site. Since I am a new member to this forum I can't post a web address, but if you do a search you should be able to find the article.
Quote from article: "Using higher tire pressures than recommended by the vehicle manufacturer for your driving conditions will unnecessarily stiffen the tire and make it even more willing to cause tramlining. If you are running higher tire pressures than necessary, simply dropping the tire pressures to those recommended by the vehicle manufacturer will help reduce tramlining."
So, from this article I can deduce that higher tire pressure increases tramlining and lower tire pressure reduces tramlining.
I hope this helps.
