[s-cars] Wandering-SO3's, Tire Reccomendations?

[George Grubr]

I just replaced steering damper (140k), significant improvement with
"wandering" on S03 slicks

Are all your suspension bushings in good shape?  Tires designed to go where
pointed have to be, and if the connection with your steering rack is
tenuous, then the car will wander.  No doubt 4 narrow spare tires would be
totally unaffected by road imperfections.
