Hi, looks like I need a new set of tyres, rears seem to have mysteriously worn down a bit  Saw a recent post recommending Michelin supersports on an Aero 8, any other suggestions for an SS? Also replacing all roof seals, any suggestions on additional things to do, to try and get a more soundproof/reduce water leaks. Yes I do use the boot sometimes, so the roof panels have to go back on.

re. the roof seals,before buying new you might like to try the wonderfully named - Einszett Gummi Pflege, Rubber Care Stick, 100mlwhich you rub on the rubber seals and it lubricates and expands them slightly  It is available here - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/251422930...=122&ff19=0I have used it (on the car ,honest!) for a few years now and it works very well.It is often recommended on the car detailing sites...

Just ordered some of that, not sure it will expand enough for mine though haha. Think the roof has shrunk..

Flipped from Vredesteins to Mic Pilot Superports last week on the S2, I liked the old ones but the MPSS provide more feedback and a smoother ride.
Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

I'm happy with my Michelin both in terms of look and handling.  If you discover something more regarding new roof seals I am interested as well.

People buy tyres for their Morgans? I find mine simply aren't wearing out - perhaps I should go off and do some supermarket car park donuts like the rest of you

I find mine simply aren't wearing out I changed my Avon simply since they were like marble. Same stiffness and same road holding. But... they were looking brand new when I took them off.
