Tyre & Bumper Restorer,  Night Before De-icer, Silicone Spray, Petroleum Jelly, KY, 

just give them a clean up and put something on if there is freezy weather and doors will get stuck shut with damp rubber then cold temps,

Ahhh well I live up at the borders, close to George's country I have a set of 16 inch octy wheel s with winter tyres on , makes a huge difference! even if its not wintery, at anything below 7C and in the wet they are better (I use track tyres in the summer though! I'd be a numpty to use them in the winter )

 

and if you insist on whiteline, don't bother with adjustment, just put it on the most extreme setting

Thank you once again,time to look for second set of wheels! Whiteline I was going to start at middle but not now..hoping to try track days next year.
