I've just checked the weather forecast..

[raf_gti]

..and there is definitely no sign of snow for the next week so can we give the winter tyres/what 4wd threads a rest please, at least for another month or so?

Carry On.

[wifiwupding]

Oh sorry your majesty, what would you like us mere peasants to talk about

[oldcynic]

Oh goody - a winter tyres thread. I'm just waiting for the Vredestein Quatrac 3's to come back in stock so I can get the MPV back on a matching set of tyres

[Gizmo!]

I've still got the Nankang SV2s on mine.

Drove over sheet ice perfectly happily in December, and still holding the road perfectly well in 28 degC.

[ChiChoAndy]

Or you could bypass those threads entirely...

[Baffled Spoon]

Did someone say winter tyres?

I like winter tyre threads (badum tish)

[MarkRSi]

Where can I get winter tyres for my MR-2???

[blearyeyedboy]

But... but... it's August!!! Winter's only 4 months away! What am I going to do for tyres?



Seriously though, better to talk about it a bit too early than try to scramble around in January looking for some. If you don't like a thread, don't read it.

They can get quite tyresome.

But I can't help myself!

Much like I still find myself reading 'What repmobile for £3k which would pass for £13k' type threads, I'm strangely drawn to them.

What about insurance? My premium is ludicrous this year

And petrol prices? Don't even get me started

I wonder what you would buy if you won the lottery? tell me.

As for cyclists, well.........

Posting a winter tyre thread because you're tyred of winter tyre threads. Argh...it's a paradox.

[TonyRPH]

Is it ok to fit winter tyres now, before winter?

Will they wear badly before then?

Thankyou.

No crap weather for 4 months? Which slicks are you guys planning to use

Worn out winters of course - last year's are nearly down to the 1.6mm requirement

It's like typing "Google" into Google. The universe will implode...

Not my joke I'm afraid, Armando Iannucci's if I remember correctly.

Look at that, shut down all the forums and just have 5 separate running threads, sorted!
