Now the ZED is a great handling car, and it deserves a gr8 road to put a massive grin on your face.........There is a promotion on at the moment, from Continental tyres, buy two or more and you get a free hotel stay on a gr8 road...Well you dont have to buy anything to enjoy yourself. Go on the website and just look at the maps of the roads....Im planning on trying all the english and welsh ones...

Site is www.continentalroadtrip.com.:clap::clap::clap: (https://www.continentalroadtrip.com/)

Good offer but have you seen the price?? no wonder they're giving a free hotel room in with it. By the way, the link isn't working

The link didn't work because it included all the clapping smilies as part of the link. Stamford fixed it now anyway.

Not a bad price that but having to find somebody willing to fit.

I found fitted price is around £120 a corner.

Go on Blackcircles and check out the local fitters that work for them.
Most of them will fit your own tyres for around £15.

I did check out the website but it doesn't seem to give details of the roads.

I normally buy nankangs on ebay under £100 for 2 and there great tyres for the money.



If you want branded then tyres on the drive are very cheap if they cover you area.

Ok, got the maps to work.

There are some good routes there but I think the best one would be the Buttertubs Pass, 5.6 miles.

Some of those routes would make a good run for someone on their own, indeed I have done some of thembut unfortunatly they are either tourist routes so slow and busy or too short for a decent run or in Ireland so not good for a group.

The challange is for someone to put togeather a run that would suit the ZS with a decent eatery at each end.
