I've gone ahead and had the 2 new tyres put on the back and the rear ones put on the front. The 2 new tyres are General grabbers UHP but the car now feels like I'm fighting with the steering and it also keeps going 'light'. Tyre dealer reckoned it would be fine to have 'normal' tyres on the front. Are they wrong? - certainly feels like it

Are the all the same rolling diameter? NOT tyre size, but actual size on the road.

check it quick.

Running ATs on the rear and road on the front will have different rolling diameters, so if you have AT rear you need to fit the same make and tyre type to the front

TOLD YA

mixing tyres puts everything out, Im not going to type it all out again, far simpler to search my old posts
but go back to the tyre shop, have 2 more of the same tyres fitted to front
and it'll drive like a new motor
