Back in March, I posted a question regarding occasional roughness in my 1969 E-type's ride ("Please help solve the mystery..."). The general consensus was that the culprit was tread separation and I needed new tires--sounded reasonable to me!
Well, I got the new tires (which feel great--needed 'em anyway) and the problem seemingly went away...but it's back! It's far less frequent now, but just as disturbing. Here's a link to the original question, where I detailed all the symptoms:
original question
Possible clue: the tire specialist who mounted my four new tires told me there didn't appear to be anything suspicious going on, but he did notice two things.
1. The left rear Dayton was very hard to remove.
2. He says that my Daytons are "Series III spec", not Series II. He claims there's a minute difference in measurements (I believe he said in the width), but he said it was negligible and shouldn't affect the ride.
Thanks muchly for your expertise...the education from specialists in clubs and forums has really made the boyhood dream of a classic Jaguar purchase far less mysterious and daunting...
