As there is no what one might call "calculated science" in the design of an A7 chassis and suspension parts, in the past I've found that with all the bushes, pins, and springs, etc, replaced the car feels "over tight" and "reluctant to respond". As things bed in, matters improve somewhat until a sweet spot is achieved when the car will ride well and steer easily. Of course, later it's downhill all the way and the famous "let-the-car-steer-itself-with a light-grip-on-the-wheel" situation develops. I've never noticed any difference between the makes of tyre - I suppose one just gets used to how the car feels and compensates accordingly. There is a big difference between using a Seven every day (as some of us did) and driving one occasionally - having being meanwhile cosseted in a modern.
