Have you ever noticed that we don't see stone chips on the front of cars any more? I think it's because they don't surface the roads with them stone chips any more, they are using tar on them now.It used to be a way of checking a cars mileage years ago, along with the wear on the pedal pads, and on the car seats.They have resurfaced sections of the A92 recently, with a smooth tar surface, which is so smooth, it cuts down the rumbling noise level of the cars tyres on the road, it's great to drive on.I'm not sure what it will be like on the wet, when it comes to braking though?(I tried to start a new thread for this, but it would let me?)
