At my local tyre Shop with a hunter system
What settling should I tell them to put in for less torque steer when overtaking

First make sure you have Michelin PS4's on! Eliminated my savage torque steer

Keep the rear toe to a minimum...

As said above 2 major things to take into consideration.

firstly get some Michelin Pilot Sports 4S (not just 4 but 4S) on. I went from Pzeros with very good tread levels to MPS4S and my torque steerer on wide open throttle (WOT) went from hang onto me to calm.

I then got a full geo done but had the toe front and rear put to the max OE spec and some of the torque steer has returned. but this time very manageable but the added turn in given by the increased toe far out weighs the negative attribute of the torque steer. And to show how sensitive our cars are to toe my stetting went from;

front
before after
left +0deg 03' +0deg11'
right +0deg0' +0deg11'

rear
before after
left +0deg19' +0deg12'
right -0deg04' +0deg13'


So all very marginal changes. but on the road make a very noticeable difference in behaviour

I had P Zero before I swapped to Michelin PS4, the difference is like night and day, i have absolute confidence in her now even in the wet. No torque steer and no understeer
