    Hi,
    looking for a bit of help/advise.

    I have a set of Dunlop sport smart sportmax, ive done about 600 miles and the rear left side is squaring off. im not overly keen on my left bends, so don't think that too much gas on a left turn could be it, the tyre pressure is 36psi, but one thing that does stand out, my suspension is set up fairly soft.

    Could a soft front and rear comp/rebound cause the side to square off ?

    Sounds more like this'd be to do with the alignment. Have you checked it recently?

    I would have though the pressure is low ? Should it not be about 42

    low pressure, camber of the road and alignment.
