Hmmm...good point that. I know it's not suppsed to be good for tyres to be sitting in the same position for extended periods of time.
I'm certainly dicing with death running my '02 with 49k on the original cambelt

I'm struggling with the concept of parting with £400 odd for no performance gain...although I'm sure the peice of mind must be comforting.
