Roger ,
              Your tires are too old ... replace them , no matter what the tread looks like. The problem with most of our tires is that we don’t put enough miles on them to wear them out first. Tires are cheap compared to the alternative!

Subject: [PhillyMGClub] Tires for MGB

Hi All,

I currently have 12 year old Michelin Harmonys on my '78 Roadster with plenty of tread left.  But, the age is starting to concern me (particularly for highway driving).  Should I be?  If so, what would you recommend?  Ed Sweeney at Proper Noise once recommended  Vredstein but I never got a reason why.

Thanks,

Roger

I have Vredersteins on one of my cars and I like them. They’re also one of the few mfgs who stock the proper sizes for our LBCs. Also, Ed knows his stuff - I’d trust him. 

The problem with older tires isn’t really the dry rot - they’ll survive that for ages - but it’s that the tread rubber gets hardened, and as such it doesn’t stick to the road well, particularly in the wet. Old tires are a terrible hazard in rain. 

Cheers,
Kevin

I'd be more concerned about dry rot than tread wear.  Ed recommend Vrederstein to me as well for my 64 B since my low mileage tires were 25 years old. 

They have a fairly tall sidewall which has softened my ride considerably and they fill the wheel wells nicely.

I wouldn't recommend them if you want to autocross or do some fast on ramps, but for me they're great.

It B fun,

I believe the enemy tires are the visible (road wear) and invisible (TIME).
Just like you should service the engine, change the oil, lube the frame each year on low mileage drive cars......any tire more that 5 yrs old should be replaced, no matter how many miles you put on them.

You may or may not be able to see the micro cracks but they are there!

Hi,
Each year I print the MGB and GT calendar.

I need additional submissions of photos for the 2020 calendar. The perfect submission size is 3600x2700 pixels pulled directly from the camera without processing, cropping or any photoshop type enhancement.

I am looking for racing photos, images of rebuilds in progress, or any fun shots that have not been submitted in previous years and embody the experience of owning an MGB. Perfect cars are not necessary but the emphasis is always on the car, the additional content of the photo cannot overwhelm the car. For instance, if the photo is about the people, a dog, or the location,  it is not about the MGB!

Photos should be submitted as soon as possible.

By submitting a photo you assign reproduction and distribution rights to MGBcalendar for future use without restriction.

Individual copies may be purchased from www.MGBCalendar.com for $20 (USD) which includes delivery almost anywhere. The Calendar is shipped to arrive by Christmas each year.. 
 
Please, send me your high resolution photo by reply email, or if you are sending multiple submissions, send them through a free file delivery service like www.wetransfer.com.

Visit my website www.mgbcalendar.com!

Thanks, and...
Safety Fast!
