So you have improved things with adjusting and getting correct tyre pressures. That is a good start I believe yours should be 33psi front and 30psi rear.

Also note that new tyres can, for the first few hundred miles, feel as if the car is on tiptoe - the manufacturers use a releasing agent when the tyres are moulded and the remains of this on the tyre surface means that for the first miles they can feel quite nasty.

You will also find that different manufacturers tyres have different stiffness in their side walls and the manufacturer may recommend a different tyre pressure to what Peugeot do. It may be worth contacting Khumo to see what pressure they recommend.

Now back to tracking. You could pay to have another four wheel alignment but I don't think the rear is adjustable at all so there is little point but if you do have four wheel alignment done all modern machines should give you a printout of both before and after settings. If you do pay for four wheel setting don't accept the setting being "within tolerance" modern machines used by good operators should get the front toe spot on. So perhaps get a new track rod end fitted and get the toe reset.
