...and just given a clean bill of suspension health too. Feels to me like they go off camber as the lock goes on.

Is your steering really really light aswell .the guy I bought it off has put 40psi in the tyres all round which I thought was a bit too much.

[Bonefishblues]

It's tyre dependent to a degree. It's definitely lighter on Pirelli Scorpions than it was on Nokian Winters. I think 40's too much unless you spend your whole life fully loaded.

It's got general grabbers winter tyres on it .they look very chunky . I'll alter the pressure after work today.
