Default Geometry Settings...

Just had the geometry done on the S to the revised settings.
The car now seems to slightly pull to the left now... Could this be caused by the difference in the castor (see below)? Should I take the car back to get them to sort out the difference or is this acceptable?
I will double check the tyre pressures tomorrow... Can any one recommend a tyre pressures for Goodyear GSD3s (had these fitted a few weeks ago).

GSD3s? Are you running on standard 16s? (If so you've got the wrong size)

These are standard 16 inch wheels... They are the same size as the SO2s, how can these be the wrong size?

If you're running 18 or 17" wheels I run at 34PSI. Some prefer 32.

All round that is.

Sorry I don't know enough about geo to say if that would make a difference. Do you have your before settings?

They don't make GSD3's in the right size for the 16" OEM wheels.

You sure they aren't GSD2's ? (They were discontinued a while back)

Read the faq mate

S02s have more rubber on the road than a standard tyre, you should really run 245s on the rear in F1s (but they don't make them anymore)

And the settings look quite different right to left, but I don't know enough to tell you if that's your problem.

You can't get GSD2s any more, I know I rang round for ages to try and get them!
