Winter tyre threads

[Beyond Rational]

Could they be merged/some closed? There appear to be at least 3 threads with the same discussion?

About 8mm and they have things called "sipes" to grip the snow when....

Oh. I thought you said "winter treads"!



But yes, very annoying when I've got to post in multiple threads about how smug I am.

In reality there are about 53 threads and we've gone round the same iterative loop arguments for the last goodness knows how many years.

Bernie mugged threads...

It's a bit late to do anything about those examples now that they are 20+ pages long, but if you see more unnecessary ones starting then report them to the mods and we can nip them in the bud.

Yes, just like a snitch. You grass.

His tyres would be crap on grass too.

Was just thinking this myself, there are five running already on page 1 of GG, and three more on page 2 of GG, and someone has just started another FFS! It's not as if there aren't dozens more either, going back the last few weeks.

There'll be another one soon based on the question does the speed limit for a van change on SC if it's running winter tyres.

Don't forget "will it invalidate my insurance? Or should I tell them, but expect a £5million additional premium?"

Perhaps I will start an "All Season Tyres" thread just to even things up

Not so much anger, just mild irritation that there are so many identical threads running, and then someone starts yet another to ask a question that could have been asked on any one of the others anyway.

I guess for some a cursory glance at the first page is too much effort before posting.

How about "2010 to be hottest year on record......" running next to the million page "Climate Change - the big debate" thread?

Six snow related threads in the lounge today.

And probably the same amount in general gassing.

The manufacturer / model specific forums are just as bad!

I've closed a couple, but we cannot read every post on the site. Hit the report button when you see new ones starting and we'll take appropriate action.
