[doc] Tyres & TAB's

["Claire Usher" <claire.usher@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

ha ha, yeah that was funny. I'm used to my American 'heinz 57' 
mixture of brands so I know not to boot it unless I'm in a reasonably 
straight line and the roads are dry ;-)  Change of underwear Dan? lol

I was amazed at the difference putting a complete set of new rubber 
made to my Cavalier, I got 4x BF Goodrich tyres (all 4 fitted plus 
tracking for £140) and it transformed the handling and the steering - 
bearing in mind I dont have power steering on my Cav, the steering is 
so much lighter since I replaced the 'budget' tyres that were on it 
(which still had about 5mm of tread on them).

Anyway, when my house is sold, a new set of tyres and refurbing the 
wheels are on the shopping list for Flopsy (along with everything 
else) :-)  I've decided I'm gonna have my wheels done in grey - so 
sorry in advance to any purists out there :oP

At least I know my trailing arm bolts are ok (replaced with DMUK/DMC 
Ltd Inconel ones), which I think is another essential item to change 
on your car, especially if you dont know when they were last done.  
They are as much of a safety item as tyres in my humble opinion, I 
certainly wouldnt want a TAB failing when I'm driving about in my 
pride and joy. :o(

what happened when Dan (used to Pirellis) took Flopsy out for a 
drive!
