I got rid of my Corsas yesterday and have switched to Michelin PSS, thanks for the recommendation Athol. Obviously they need to scrub up a bit first before they are working properly, but I had a 100+ mile run home on them yesterday and they're already feeling better. But I had the geo/alignment done at the same time by Tony @ Wheels In Motion in Chesham. He is a don when it comes to the science of this stuff and I learnt so much yesterday. My car was in pretty good shape, as I would have expected having been looked after by the Maserati GB master techs in Slough up to when I bought it at the end of last year, but it was an excellent exercise to go through every setting including chassis alignment. I can thoroughly recommend him, people have even brought their cars over from France to be set up by him. Thanks for the tip Aldous
