Tramlining with Falken 452

Any one having any problems with the Falken 452's tramlining (following the grooves in the road made by heavy vehicles). Mine seem to be handling just aweful with about 50% tread remaining. Going to have to do a tire rotation but as more tread is worn the more my handling is decreased. Anyone with a better tire option that won't have these handling issues? Tire size is 245-40-19.

What is the width of the wheel? I believe the factory wheels are 8", the wider wheel you go with, the more likely you're going to follow the groves in the road. My former boss drove an M5 with like 10 or 10.5 inch rear wheels, that thing was almost impossible to keep in the lane on the highway.

I can't believe tires that are the same width would have anything to do with that, unless maybe they are wearing unevenly? Check the 3G forums, I looked there before I got my Falken 452's and there are nothing but great reviews there, I don't think I saw one person report your issue.
