anyone notice the slaves getting stuck in the 1" of snow these days.... funny how 35 years ago (when it was normal to walk to school, arrive on time and stay all day when there was 8" of the stuff about for 4 days at a time, no one in a car ever had an issue

perhaps because back then every tyre had snipes and was an all season tyre? then they introduces nice big circumferal lines and binned the snipes, that way the slaves can be sat in confusion and chaos whilst the rich go by helicopter planning how to destroy another happy healthy society somewhere on the planet and we don't notice

Nothing to do with snipes... The problem with modern cars is stupidly wide tyres on stupidly big rims with stupidly small sidewalls coupled to far more power and torque than old cars.

And I think you mean sipes, not snipes.

With modern faster digital communication I think we have more chance of learning of the abusive actions of those up top.

You also miss that for the rich to continually get richer the slaves need to be productive.

agree with other points you make and oh, yes "sipes", still mine made for a better heading

Methinks this thread will be short lived.

Strange thread I was going to bring up cross plies.

? radials have more flexible carcass - which is good for letting the tyre follow the road...
until you invent 60% or lower profile tyres and run flat joke technology


in a similar vein, no spare or a 50mph spare....
which of course means no more 8 minute swap out and carry on as normal...

no sir we don't have that size, stay still for 2 days and we'll get one in for you at 300 a pop
or
I don't know how to change a tyre.... queue, causing tail backs on the motorway for 3 hours so the RAC man can do the job...

ITS ALL CONNECTED - don't forget to take the SIM card out when you go outside and whatever you do don't reply to this thread or you'll end up on the naughty step.


I'm just going to reboot my router...

Currently none
Strangely enough I hadn't given a thought to those in enslavement or those travelling by helicopter, I was however giving some thought to having the wheels currently on my SL fitted with winter tyres which I can then swap out for the correct wheels come spring/summer. :)

Up here it's the wagons that shut the roads.
1st one loses traction on a hill,
then a second goes to overtake, and guess what happens next?
