Today we had the 5 tyres changed on our year 2000 morgan plus 4
The following may be useful to know The tyres still had tread remaining and they were Avon ZV1 tyres mileage on the car is 35,000 miles however the rubber had a crazy paving look on the tyre tread. We had these replaced with the current morgan factory fitted tyres yokohama blue earth. We asked for the wheel balance weights to be fitted on the inside of the wheel for some unknown morgan fit these on the outside rim and the weights look unsightly.
Now when we looked at the date code on the old Avons they were dated to 2000 the same year the car was made (16 years ago)!
Krazy Horse of Bury St Edmunds our local Morgan dealership performed an excellent jonb and even purchased a wheel spinner spanner not a wooden type either a pro one that fits a socket for the spinners therefore ensuring they were not damaged.
Another request by me to black the tyres and remove old grease and replace with new on the splines as its well known that if the old grease containing metal swarf is not replaced then premature spline wheel hub wear occurs..
