R170 Handling Issue(Tramlining)

I decided to post on this forum since i think the car originally
is based on the SLK200.The car was fully conversion from
SLK200 to SLK32 AMG.I STFA and found that the R170 is
one of the car which has a great handling in the corners.
the car is having the handling issue(Tramlining) and feel
aggressive understeer in the corner(maybe from running with
extra wider tyres on the front.)
the car has 19"Rims with 245/35R19 on the front,275/30R19
on the rear.I have been done and paid a lot of stuffs but no lucks
finally.The car has recently
-replaced the front tyres with Hankook S1 EVO last week(previously had Nitto NT-05)
-couple times of wheel alignment.
-new steering dampener.
-inspected the suspension.All is tight,No worns.
-new Hotbits customed Coilovers.
-rebuilt the steering box.

The mechanic said he has nothing to do on this car since everything
is proper inspected.anyone ever had kinda experienced,please kindly chime
in.TIA.

Regards,
pop

You can go for 225/45ZR17 front or you can opt for replacing the tires with non-reinforced (soft sidewall) tires.

See what suits you best.
