Winter comes to the Scottish Borders..
Mass migration to all season and winter tyres for the dailies..the Zed is resting on refurbished 437M in graphite grey with new SC7s..unlikely to be out much over the winter but spring pot holes are a killer ..so forged wheels stand a better chance.
The Apex Arc 8s are off for trueness check and then refurbished in graphite grey with fresh SC7s..
A little left in the old SC7s..3.6mm in 10k old fronts and 2.7mm in 5k rears..but it’s not worth (to me) faffing for 1 or 2 runs.
Plus early spring weather can be wet and 3mm is about it for good water performance…and at 2mm had bad tramlining on the rears…
Please with general wear pattern…with revised geometry ..no uneven wear..
