    C63 tyre setup question....

    Hi mate yes it does it on pulling away cornering and also when driving around on some roads if you apply throttle and corner sometimes. it does feel a bit "skippy" as if the tyres arent completely gripping. would bad alignment cause this? Maybe the PAS pump itself?
