Our recently acquired 1973 +8 is fitted Vredestein Classic 185-15 tyres. While looking good, they are also rather chunky. We have problems with the tyres scrubbing the inside of the front mud front guards and the stabiliser rod installed between the top of the spring tower and the chassis frame as well as sometimes scrubbing the brake hoses when on full steering lock. Also, it seems as the front brake hoses scrubs above mentioned stabiliser bar when on full steering lock. I bought two roller units from Rutter to replace the traditional pads installed to prevent the front tyre to scrub against the chassis frame when on full lock, but still not sufficient. Which brand, model and size of tyre do you use and have you encountered above mentioned scrubbing problems on an early narrow bodied +8? I can't pass the upcoming MOT test before these issues have been solved. Your help is much appreciated. Cheers /Finn
