Not fun, not fun at all. Especially on roads in >WA; they haven't been cared for in twenty odd years. ;o) There are two major possibilities. The first would be an alignment issue. The second would be "groove wander". This is a condition that affects wide tires. The wider, the more they will wander and follow the grooves in the road. The more worn the tires are, the more they wander. I'd have the alignment checked first, and have the dealer make sure nothing is loose in the front end. If that does not do it, start playing with tire pressures. Lower pressure generally reduce wander. Bob
