yes, get them on as soon as you can. I was just pulled over by the cops last week, luckily they where in a good mood and let me go after I promised I'll get some flares the next day. so I went to clark's rubber but they only had the 60 mm ones and they too wide so I ordered the 40 mm. still waiting for them hopping not to bump into the cops again...

life is not a competition John!
Seriously though, try the purple pig or brierley hose and handling in Derwent Park Road.
