Tyre pressures - mine were a bit low at the weekend, I set them to 35 all round on Sunday, hated it (terrible ride behaviour), then have gone to 33 and it's much better, suspect 32 or 32.5 psi will end up being the norm. I've never owned a car so damn sensitive to tyre pressure !
I am running on 19" and I started off with 36 psi tyre pressure but tyres were wearing a lot on sides, it does not help that I am mostly using car on short local trips and around the town. In couple of months tyres had noticeably worn on the sides while the middle was like new. So I increased tyre pressure to 42 and this has evened out tyre wear.
