[Healeys] Tires What's the rub? problem solved

[Bob Spidell]

Keep corrosion at bay-->paint (if you really, really want to next time you have them out--not an easy job). 

Easy to keep clean-->water 

Can't think of anything much worse than wrapping steel in plastic to encourage rusting (right up there with undercoating). The Alfa springs were probably dipped (and how do you know they're pristine under the tube/coating?). 

Think I'd replace the muffler bearings first (http://kalecoauto.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=48 )

Why bother?

Apropos the front springs, what are the group's thoughts on putting a plastic 
sleeve on them, i.e. a half-inch or so inside diameter tube running the length 
of the coil. My wife's Alfa has this arrangement and they are pristine.
