    Nice to see you've got it back and are happy with it, although goodness knows why you'd want it back so keenly with the wet weather we're currently having. Boot wise the peel is easily sorted with a polish

    Jimbo doesn't think so, the rain came down on the way to trax and he slowed to 40mph on the motorway as they didn't feel safe to him.

    Interesting, I have 225 x 40 x 18 on the t-5k and 225 x 45 x 17 on the t-5r and they're both quite bad in the wet, but better than the ditch finders that were on the t-5r previously.
