| 550980 | 2007-05-19 22:09:00 | There might be a slight amount of misinformation there about M+S tires in the US. So you know a bit about tyres then SF46 :D I think we expect too much for people to know what are their tyres are suitable for. There are alot of people that just drive the car. To them a tyre is black and thats it. They rely on "professionals" to advise them (until it costs them money) to what is safe. I have probably run mismatched tyres on my car at times but I do not push it very hard at all. My motorcycle gets an easy life too (no snow tyres for that). |

Also, the seasonal differences put his snow tires in the summer category for us.:groan: |

I have probably run mismatched tyres on my car at times but I do not push it very hard at all. My motorcycle gets an easy life too (no snow tyres for that). Maybe getting a drivers license should involve some education in some of these things, including how to change a tyre, and and basic engine knowledge. People do take cars far too much for granted, without really understanding how they work. I have seen far too many people spin out on roads because they don't know how fast they can go around corners in various road conditions. |

Everyone knows that drivers of 4wds are perfectly safe in all conditions, especially if they have a hundredweight or so of bull bars front and back. :thumbs: |
