Solution Found!

Just purchased myself some 17" 6 spoke audi TT alloys which are sat on 225/40/17's so fatter and lower profile, only paid £100 for them aswel all with half decent tyres on. Hopefully this will calm the understeer down

bargin. I think a good set of tyres will be your solution but a lower profile tyre will make it better as there is less movement in the tyre wall but like anything else going to extremes will effect it for the worst
