Does staggered fit set-up affect handling????

I've just changed the rears on mine from Michelin Pilot sports to Dunlop SP 9000's.

I've only done about 70 miles but first impressions are great.
Seems to have cured the cars tendency to hop about at the rear.
When I've done some more miles, I'll post the conclusion.

Tyre choice is very important but an expensive game!

Grip and noise are the main contribution from tires. "hop" would, I think, be a suspension thing. Shocks and springs compatability

I would agree, and it's probably too early to give a comparison. But, today, It felt so much better. really!
It's always been my main complaint about the car.
