I did read this and spoke to Mobile Event and my friend who's been running the same tyres on his S (S2KSi) and they didn't recommend getting the larger size.

Fair enough, but be aware that your car will be more tail happy now, although it may aquaplane a bit less.

I can just give you the info, if you choose not to believe me thats fine

It does feel more planted now after the revised geometry settings have been set but the steering feels quite weighted. As for being tail happy, I've had these tyres from the 2nd day of ownership so I don't know any different. I do drive it quite hard and it doesn't seem too bad
I'm hoping to buy another set of wheels and run Winter (GSD3s) & Summer tyres(S02s) which should be nice.

You'll need 17" or 18" wheels to get GSD3's to fit Good all year round IMO

If you get the description off the side of your tyres, we can help clear up any confusion Trying to help, not criticising you

I'm 99.9% sure I ordered GSD3s from Mobile Events... I will double check in a bit and let you guys know.

Well that's weird, Didn't think they were available in those sizes.

You should probably run 215 / 245 using those rather than S02's.

Now that's the tyres sorted, someone else needs to say why it is pulling to the left I guess, if it is the geo.

tyre pressures can cause that though

Front castor is a little unsymetrical but other than that
