think there's defiantly something up never used to do it , whole car was tight and solid now feels all flimsy on the steering I cant get my head around it all ever since I changed a tyre its gone wrong , I suspect it has something to do with the steering rack now as its making horrible squealing noises only when I turn right tho . cars coming of road now goin to get the 106 out for a while until I can get my bby back to normal as the mots due on sunday n tax end of month , think she needs some tlc and couple upgrades thanks for your input tho

Low tyre pressure?
Mismatched tyre size?

When they are made there is a very slippery releasing agent on the tyre so that the manufacturer can get them out of the mould. You need to do a hundred miles or so to get this fully scrubbed off.
A lot of inexperienced motocyclists fall off their bikes learning this lesson!
If you drive like a granny you never notice the effect. If you drive a 180 and boot it around bends you will notice it.
Finally, rememeber that the lack of grip cornering is also a lack of grip braking so stopping distances will also increase.
