IL add to this and say what others are thinking, your set up company hasn't got a clue what they are doing. Just because someone has got some laser alignment kit doesn't automatically mean they know how to use it.
The old guard here know what they are talking about, they have all found what works, over hundreds of thousands of miles between them, which when you check, is very similar to what was run back in the day. I'd suggest your issues are down to the standard of build and lack of knowledge rather than everyone else being wrong.

As a general observation I don't believe the Stratos actually works the front tyres hard enough to get enough heat into them to make "sticky" tyres work unless some very specific work is done to make it happen.
Let me rephrase. The car is really a delight to drive turns in well powers out of corners with no drama even in bumping conditions. The twitchiness I am refering to is the almost lack of self centering. I am not going to dipute others experiences but I dont like the tone of this conversation so this will be my last post on this matter. And no the TBs are not going anywhere.....
I'd say you have issues with steering stiction.

The 215 x 15 Michelin TB15 is the cream of the crop for the front end of a Stratos rep.
The new P7 Corsa might be on a par, but I doubt it's any better.
A Hawk needs to have the correct offset on the front wheels.
That, and any 'give' in the front tie bar (tension strut) bushes can make a Hawk dart about on the road.
So much so that it will be an awful thing to drive.
This, for example, will be an arrestable offence when I come to power:
