The new tyres are working out well, and have about 600km on them. Car is much smoother and quieter than before - only thing is I have to figure out how to clean the preserver off the white band! People keep asking did I order greenwalls specially?

Brown Bear, The preserver should wash off with water. If it has been on for a while and has cured you will need to use some Jif and a nylon scourer pad, You know the green one with the sponge on the back! This should clean it off and bring up a nice shine.

this is a good thread,

i've learnt alot reading this tyre stuff... i still am a HUGE fan of
BIG whitewalls, like those on smooths wagon (frank) or stingrays medium size whitewalls...

The green protective coat should just clean off with warm soapy water and some elbow grease.
