Re: Tyres

Thank you all for your replies. I have got Goodyear's on at the moment. I thought I would try something different. I will probably go down the Michelin route.

Re: Underseal

Out of interest why are you thinking of using underseal? Modern cars shouldn't need it however I treated the underside of my Zed with Dinitrol 4 years ago which should keep any surface rust at bay.

They called it black/dark chrome, something like that. As I understand it the chrome paint is sprayed on a black undercoat instead of a light undercoat to give a deeper shine. I believe this is standard on later models. Phil
