Absolutely 100% true and correct. I put my stock all-seasons back on for winter, and the tramlining is much less prominent. After driving the car all winter and putting the summers back on, it does feel like something is "wrong" and takes some getting used to. Both summer and winter sets are RFT.

But do check your tire pressure anyway, it makes a difference. Don't trust the dealer checked or aired the tires correctly.
