At the time i got 205/45/16 tires. But i feel like car is way to sensitive to uneven roads. It's fine when i drive aggressive and fast, but when im in cruising mode, it handles like its bored and wants to steer all on its own. I feel like im wrestling with my steering wheel. My 185/55/14 winter tires handles like a boat, but is more pleasent to cruise on.

Could it be that my tires are just bad quality, or do i have to use a different width? Would something like 195/50/16 work?

Tramlining is also caused by tire design and compound.205/45/16 is also too small. You should be using 205/50/16 which has more sidewall and will get you a more comfortable ride. It is also the correct plus size tire for a 205/55/15 tire which is our stock diameter. A directional tread design with less circumferential grooves will help fight tramlining.

Remember that a more aggressive stance will give you a more aggressive ride...
