   Just fitted My new Cyclones 195/45/15.
   
   Every time i break heavilyish, normally down hill, My steering keeps pulling the wheel straight!
   
   Steerings become quite heavy as well, is this normal?

   Tyre pressures?
   Uneven tyre wear?

   Hmmm Not really un even tyre wear :/ Quite rounded on the edges..... Tyre pressures seem fine... well they rear about 25 psi... but look fine... Worth topping up ?

   Try about 30 all round, see how it feels and adjust to how you like it

   it is common that you will feel more grip i.e. your steering will be more hard because of the bigger width of the tire (assuming you had standard saxo tires before)

   Yeah thought it might be because they're wider that it's heavier steering.
   
   But what would cause it to pull the steering to the centre? i'll pump them up to 30psi al round and update tomorrow

   I'm running Pro Race 1.2s, 15" and 7" width on my Furio. Got 195/45/15 tyres fitted too.
   
   Try 32 on the front and 30 on the rear
