Steering jerking to the left

[tee_off]

You will not notice any Torque Steer from a Scirocco in normal everyday driving.... With worn tyres in the wet (yours are new) then you could potentially notice it depending on how hard you launch...
Different tyres have different feel while driving... some have more rounded shoulders than others...those with square or less rounded shoulders will tend to tram track a bit... also if you have gone up in width you may notice a difference...

40 psi ????? Really?? There is no need to go that high... it will affect the ride quality as well as dry road and more importantly wet road grip.
Off the top of my head I cant remember the recommended tyre pressures but I would suggest it is more like 34 front and 30 rear as there is very little weight on the rear...
High tyre pressure would create a crowning effect on the tread... this leads to excessive wear in the centre and lack of grip as the contact patch is reduced.

As to your choice of tyre... I cant comment having never had them...

Good luck sorting it out... as it shouldnt be doing what you describe...

Just in case... here is a link to the Wheel Alignment specs for the Scirocco R

Thanks for the info. I will get the drift to the left / torque steer investigated at next service (december). Perhaps I will go to Elvis(?) in western melbourne who some here have recommended.

I don't understand the alignment specifications in that thread but I do have a print out of the measurements from the alignment place

And it looks like my tyres still came out pretty top in the latest Motor magazine tyre test.
