I dont think it is tyre related really,
The poor guy has replaced all four with matching brands,
In the past I have driving with some mis-matched tyres and have never experienced severe probs like him.
Sounds like a suspension/tyre contact control eg damper/arb's or even alignment.

Phil01 Strange problem you have there, especially if it has been to WIM, as I am sure they would have found your problem.
These cars feel planted infact one of the best at high speed.
sounds like the obvious but is the front anti-roll bar fitted securely by the clamps/rubbers and the arb links have no play in them?
Are your dampers in good nick??
Lots to check, so can you please itemise what you have replaced/checked

WIM did not find anything wrong except the toe was slightly off. Items replaced were track rod end because they were bend the oxygen sensors, 4 brand new dunlops and finally steering rack because the steering felt very vague when driving but now the steering issue is solved and a full service done 2 weeks ago.

So the rear tyres are not reinforced sidewalls but a rayon cord reinforced not sure what that means

Are the Sport Max not semi- run flats? and SP 01 normal? If so is there a difference between the front and back causing this issue?

i feel sure Sport Max can be run flat for a limited distance at low speed.
