    As said, mixed tyres on same axle, with different compounds, tread pattern and load rating will only increase tendency to torque steer.

    Also it takes a wee while to work out how best to put the power down in the lowest gears when a car has been remapped, even with matching front tyres.

    Torque steer is a fact of life on most FWD's, if you've had it remapped it sounds normal to me. Try matched tyres as the grip will be different as is. Not sure of legality as they're same size, it's speed rating different, as long as it's suitable for car think it's ok.

    Nothing wrong with Torque steer

    Same tryes and get the tracking checked. Unless the roads bone dry I rarely get torque steer wheels just spin

    Is it just me that quite likes the feeling of torque steer? The feeling of the tyres scrabling at the road for grip when you're pushing it along?

    That just me?

    Oh, well.
