Hope your news is good too, Stephen.

Congrats on the pass John, another year for the beast!

It's funny but i generally only do about 3k/year and so far i've not had perished/cracked tyres. I'd be interested in knowing if there was a particular brand(s) that were more susceptible to cracking up/perishing etc.
