Has anyone else experienced this....

Finally took a multiple hr. highway trip and when driving 80+ the x7 would pull and track. This is zero play in the steering which most of the time is a good thing, but 80 + the slightest road imperfection and it redirects. Could it just be the tires? I did read in one review where the guy mentioned his dislike for the steering at high speed as being extremely touchy.

I have not experienced this in my X7 and I've driven well past 80+ a whole bunch of times! I have 21" NON run flat all seasons on my vehicle.

No problem for me above 80 at all. The best part is the lane keeping assist. It seems the faster you go the better it works. At 30-40 you get the flashing yellow a lot and it takes a lot of pressure to get it to go off. At 50+ you can just keep a couple of fingers on the wheel. Above 65... One finger lightly touching the wheel and the darn thing almost drives itself.

What setting do you have you steering on? Also, have you checked your tire pressures? Under inflated tires will lead to that.
