The steering was tramlining, moving across the bumps and needed constant very minor corrections to keep in line. I double checked the toque on the bolts, visually inspected the join between the wheel and the hub, checked the pressures and all was okay but what a difference in handling.

I am sure that there is nothing wrong and that it is just a different feel but I may advance swapping the fronts to new Conti’s or Michelin’s sooner than I thought. I may have to start a Poll (bun fight) on which would be better
Likewise, swapped my Winter Nokians for Summer P Rosso's yesterday & noticed that same difference in handling. But after a few hours driving this morning it felt just like normal - what ever normal is?
