If its eating tyres, last thing you want is to fit new tyres and have them all shot to bits in a few months!

Look here: http://www.wheels-inmotion.co.uk/wheels-alignment.php

I've not been to WIM myself, but others that have say that its the best place to take Omegas...

As Ian says, have the geometry checked BEFORE you fit the new rubber.
My guess is that both your wishbones are shot from what you have described, and the droplinks probably won't be far behind.

Blimey that's a treck! From here I would just go M40, off at High Wycombe, through Wycombe to Amersham and next stop is Chesham.

Why rush?

I would rather go over the Cotswolds than along the motorways.

As to my trip home I went via OOF central ;D

Wasn't rushing, just far more fuel efficient to do 70 miles down the M40 at a constant speed.  :y
