I take it that would also include vehicles other than cars that use the roads ? ...

 

A win simply for using the word "spacktard" :-)

 

To be fair it was a BMW on its roof and BMW drivers tend to know very little about proper driving no matter what tyres they have!!

 

just for a laugh 2009 4-5inchs of snow , toyo t1r's

Where is Urban today.....?

Snowed in ?

 

Your point being? nobody said summer tyres disentegrated at the first hint of snow..

 

the post says just for a laugh, and it was intended as such, i took the car to work. to see how it coped as i couldn't be arsed to walk to work, no steep hills to go down and hardly anyone on the roads, it was fine until you wanted to stop at anything over 25mph

 

You woulden't have had that problem with winter tyres..

 

Not forgetting that winter tyres also make you irresistable to women, so it's win-win.

I'm surprised it took so long for this thread to head down this street, although fairly predictable who did steer it this way.

 

Hopefully it will be law within the next two years that everyone has to have a set of winter tyres.

 

Weather looks bad there, first day it hasn't been dry and sunny down here, wind and rain today so still no need to spank £300+ on tyres I'll use once in a lifetime

 

That will never happen, fact!

 

Meanwhile in Gotham City.....

 

Why not? Lots of countries in the EU have made it law, I woulden't say it will never happen just yet fella.

 

Are the "some" eu countries generally covered in heavy snow every winter for months by any chance?

 

Disappeared for good with a bit of luck

 

 

Just watching the news and they are reporting from Belfast which is 'suffering' from blizzard conditions. The camera pans back and there is about 10mm of slush on the pavement. Oh the hardship

 

LOL - Look up Boolean searching...

To make it easier for you- trying searching for "BMW X5 crashes on summer tyres in snow" and see what happens.

 

Its the internet, fool

Try this one - it even refers to GT Spirit again.

 

Whilst people continue to insist on fitting the cheapest crappiest tyre they can buy, this will never ever happen, or if it did it would be of no use.

We'll have to ban crap tyres first, otherwise making winter tyres mandatory would be a pointless excercise. The cheap tyre makers will just put winter branding on a normal tyre like they already do with their M+S tyres,

The M+S designation is now totally useless because the Chinese and Indionesians stamp M+S on pretty much every crappy summer tyre they make (don't belive me...look at the sidewalls of some humdrum shopping car on cheapy tyres).

 

Hello, they are winter tyres 'not' snow tyres....

Your still getting a wee bit muddled up between the two TBh.

 

A change in law then perhaps regulating what can be branded as a M+S tyre?

 

Regardless of searching techniques the websites are conflicting (who would of thought not everything on the web is true)

Anyway is that not just the driver being a c*ck and driving beyond their driving / cars abilities?

 

I still don't care enough Like I said earlier I shall never buy a set. The tyres on my car are more than good enough for me to get around in the weather where I live

 

These are not just winter tyres, they are M&S winter tyres!!!!

 

F1 fan likes these winter tyres, RA dunk likes these winter tyres, I don't give a f*ck for either

Aldi.....like brands, only cheaper.

 

Moz_Rb5, like a normal human being, only retarded

 

F1 Fan brain cell count, every little helps...........

 

To be frank; Yes.

Or just stop gritting the roads. And make snow chains mandatory by law.


Then we can use snow chains instead without having to faff round taking them off everytime we drive onto a gritted road.

Would save the tax payer a fair few bob: now only from less gritting to, traffic would be better too as those without snow chains (or no clue on how to fit them) would stay at home.
