Had new boots fitted all round! Gone for Pirelli PZero's, and back to the original 225/40 & 255/35's - Hoping my 15mm front spacers will now go back on and not rub!

:cry: Jabber, that's crap. Have had a couple of friends suffer strokes, not nice :| . We're at that age mate! Looks like you've been lucky & been caught at the right time. I know I don't know you but I wish you all the best & a speedy recovery so you can get behind the wheel of your lovely Zed.
All the best,
Dave
Zedless :(
