Just noticed two of my wheels have started with this white worm. Is this a recognised issue that my dealer is aware of ? Am I fully covered ?

I think you are, sir. It is a recognised ruddy problem and sooner or later almost all Monza Shadows will have this infestation. A trip to your friendly dealer for a deep and meaningful chat is in order. May I also suggest you be your usual diplomatic and persuasive self. They will simply have to comply.  :grin:

Miss ya. Hope you are well.  :wink:

Just beware...

Most of the whiteworm on my Monzas started several months after i got the tyres changed... No apparent damage when the tyres were fitted, but after a few months the corrosion started on the edges of the rims where the lacquer must have been slightly chipped by the tyre fitters...
