Sorry guys, damn timezones. Thank-you all very much for your responses.

I've booked the car in for alignment. A bit worrying since the toe was adjusted at the start of the year, and alignment was supposedly done after both sets of tyres were fitted.

Some answers:

- Don't have the same tyre model all round. Toyo T1's up front Kumho KU31's at the back. Not knowing a heap about tyres I didn't think it would matter too much.

- Turning the wheel lock to lock sometimes makes a bump noise towards 8-ish o-clock position, and I feel the car jolt occasionally. So ball joints might be shot?

- Car does bounce around a bit, but man it is really floaty. Will get shocks checked. Bump steer is atrocious

- Tire wear wise I see nothing obvious. Both sets are new, and I drive the car a total of 25k a day at most. Guessing the effects would take some time to be seen in that instance
