Also have a trustworthy alignment shop set the geo all round. Factory specs at the rear are decent; but get as much negative camber at the front as you can, and set the front toe to zero. Michelin rubber has awesome wear life compared with its competitors - another reason for choosing them!
Thanks, I'll keep that all in mind! At the moment I'm planning on running the runflats for a while, until I can afford to replace them with new wheels and tyres, but I'll have a chat to my wheel alignment guy about sorting out the geo.
