My problem was in the tach, which was a Smith's. They said it was in the
internal something-or-other, but the guy was very willing to explain it to
me, and told me all about it before even asking about my sending it to
him... Give him a call at that shop (I don't have the phone number) and I'm
sure he'll be happy to tell you about it...
I have my original Dunlop as a spare, but the Michelins are fantastic in
comparison! The red stripe looks great on the car too (Remember the GTO?)...
I've had them on the car for about 7-8 years, and they're still very
pliable...
