Geo was way off. The rear was all wrong, the front side I hadn't touched was 1d49 (the side me and tunnie changed the hub on, and didn't bother measuring (as it was going to WIM) was nearer :o)

Still got an awful lot of camber at the rear, can't resolve that without changing rear suspension components, but they have dialled out the wander and random pulls.

Tyres, I won't say until I have got more miles on them, as I may be falling into the trap of comparing fresh rubber and straight geo with old, worn rubber (and SP9000s at that, complete with tramline issues) and pissed suspension.

But what tyres? Not after a comparison with the old but interested all the same ;)

I'm seriously considering a set of Toyo Proxis after the end of the bad weather as well as changing the rear track arms as they're seized solid :(

Cant comment for the Omega, but I have Toyo Poxy TR1's on my Cavalier, and they are shockingly bad.  Back to Firestones once these are shot.

They may be completely different on an Omega though!  :-/

Not Quite...Ljay had 4, now down to 2 on the front, to vredstein on the back.

A very grippy, very noisy tyre, given current prices I wouldnt buy again, they were a lot cheaper than most when we bought them
