Replaced the front tyre about a fortnight ago because it was cracking in between the tread and the back pair have gone the same way so had to replace them too. It's a bit weird, they're a different size, age, make and weren't all changed at the same time but they're all cracking together.
Internet searching didn't find any 275/60-15's at the local tyre places so ended up buying a pair of Nankangs like the ones already on the trike online from Germany. Rochester Tyres in Strood fitted them and it turned out they're Nankang dealers and could have got them - strange they didn't come up when I was searching.

I believe that ACF50 was developed by the Canadian navy to stop planes corroding on their aircraft carriers.Barneyb wrote: ↑Sat Oct 21, 2023 2:20 pm Nice to know about that acf50, never knew of it before,

I use our 2 cats to keep the mouse population under control and a raspberry pi to look after the garage temperature.

Replaced oil and filter, filter was stuck firm, did the wd40 with hammer tap trick, worked a charm, used 10/40 oil with extra zddp, runs sweet as a nut. New distributor sent back, didn't work, something wrong with gearing, didn't point to no1 cylinder every time engine rotated. About to order a new one from a guy that modifies them, with the extra fuel going in etc getting a 1500-3500rpm advance, non vacuum one.
