When I got my current car it had ugly lumps in the tread rubbers over the fixings. It was one of the first jobs that I did was to whip the rubbers out but the fixings were not rusty, in fact they were still bright and shiny. The problem was the fixing heads were too big and distorting the rubber. The rubbers are now permanently distorted so this thread has got me motivated. I’ve ordered up 4m of new rubber today so will attempt a fix using aluminium pop rivets.
