Hi
I live & work near a highway patrol base and I sometimes have to help them with their cars when they break down (I do road service for a local motoring club, unlike some clubs we have a 94% go rate), the drivers of the Ford XR6 turbos pursuit cars said the same thing about tram lining, they get rid of the cars before the tyres were out I guess. Something to be aware of, even low mileage used tyres can have contours worn into them by the previous car. A quick story slightly off subject that happened to me. Years ago I fitted some half worn Yokahama a008s from the front of my car to rear, from a 7 to an 8 inch rim. I had to travel about 300 ks the next day, which was very wet. The rear end of the car handled like a ball bearing wheel billy cart until I the rear tyres wore in a bit over the next week. Steve

As Steve stated that there may be contours. I think I have a solution. Wouldn't a LITTLE burnout or wheel spin work by making new contours. If it doesn't totally fix the problem then at least it will eliminate the contours that the other car made. I realize that this may cause a little of the tire life to be lost but which would you rather have? A little tire wear or a wrecked VW?
