Tyres are Bridgestone Blizzaks. Age unknown. Had near full tread however.

The wear pattern is very even, suggesting fairly good geometry and the car runs very straight no pulling.

Car had done 70K, really hope it\'s not the bushings as that\'s an arse to replace... don\'t you need some factory tool??

Break fluid does need draining and replacing I\'m a very naught boy on that point.

Thanks for all the replies and advice.

And they are crappy snow tyres! :)
Power is nothing without control. Weight is enemy of performance, handling and braking.

You can check the age of tyres by the date code on the sidewall, see here - http://www.puretyre.co.uk/tyre-information/tyre-definitions/tyre-date-code/

Based on what you\'ve said, if you want to fix the handling, I\'d start with some summer tyres, then check alignment, then the bushings if still no improvement.
