Anybody had a problem with Michelin tyres going out of round...?

[JBell]

I have just read this thread from start to finish,

Mr Threadstarter your question has been answered several times so I will repeat in a shouty style:

THERE IS NO SPECIFIC FACTORY FOR A SPECIFIC COUNTRY, WE LIVE IN A GLOBAL ECONOMY

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHERE THEY COME FROM LOOK ON THE SIDEWALL

WHAT IS THE "STANDARD SIZE" FOR A 124?

NO ONE MAKES A TYRE SPECIFICALLY FOR A 124

WHY DO YOU CARE SO MUCH WHERE UK TYRES COME FROM, YOU DON'T LIVE HERE?

No rules regarding local content - would you fill a ship with 50% fresh air and ship said goods half way round the planet. Now come on! It seems I can make you feel but I can't make you think.

If you have nothing positive to say and cannot understand the simplest of logic [and indeed wish to argue with Einstein and every other recognised quantum mechanic] please do me a favour and apply your input elsewhere.

If filling that ship with 50% fresh air and moving the goods halfway around the planet was just a tiny bit cheaper than moving goods by wagon a few hundred miles, yes I would, In fact I do, AND I MANAGE THIS FORM OF SYSTEM EVERY DAY FOR ONE OF THE WORLD BIGGEST AUTOMAKERS. Now come on, can you not understand life cycle cost management of parts in the JIT system operating in free market economics? Clearly not.

Seeing as one of my degrees was in physics with a minor in astronomy, I believe I have some grounding to understand gravity. How it works at a macro level and a quantum level is entirely different, you didn't specify which scale you wished to debate on and not all of us have the free time to watch Facetube videos you've trawled up to support a weak argument.

Do you wish to debate quantum fricking mechanics on an MB forum, when you can't even understand why a tyre manufacturer might seek to cut logistics costs in any given week or month given local live DERV fuel rates and available shipping or haulage capacity?

Or perhaps- just maybe- you're a troll. You ask a question, get 3 almost-identical answers from people with actual vocational experience over many years in the exact field you wish to know about, and then you troll the answers.

OK, Oh fricking wise one, ask the question in a format us mere mortals can understand. If we are answering incorrectly, look in the mirror, recognize humility and rephrase it so the question is more effective. Is that clear?

In my opinion this is an inappropriate response to someone that is trying to help.

They are not helping at all. The question is where are the Michelin tyres made for 124's if you purchase them in the UK. It is clear that they may come from a number of sources but what sources is what I am asking. Perhaps the easiest and most accurate way of knowing is to ask owners in the UK to have a look on the side wall - that is if they wish to help. What I don't need are red herrings from experts. That's all.

 

[WDB124066]

Michelins for standard 124's, where are they made for the UK market...

@#42 Would this be simple enough for you...? You may wish to stop your name calling. FWIW I have little confidence in you.

You clearly can't read!

 

[WDB124066]

I read more than words - would you care to go somewhere else now because I don't care for your abuse.

 

[JBell]

No abuse, the comment was based on the fact your question has been answered several times yet you clearly have no ability to understand what has been written.

Continually implying that the tyres are made specifically for a 124 and stating the "standard size", as you clearly don't know what size you are talking about the question is therefore very vague so I will repeat the vague answer:

THEY WILL MANUFACTURE THEM IN ANY FACTORY THEY OWN ON THIS PLANET AND SHIP THEM TO WHICHEVER COUNTRY NEEDS THEM

Now based on the fact that this is the ONLY answer to your question I suggest you take it as read, move on and stop getting angry

I doubt I'd care to take many suggestions from you, But I would suggest that you are getting angry not me. I would also suggest you have no idea what I know about 124 tyres and I'd suggest you take great delight in deliberately misunderstanding people, as there is evidence of all of this in your posts.

You clearly have no intention to help so just move along attach yourself to somebody elses posts.... You may wish to stop yelling too.

 

[WDB124066]

Research with some of the largest tyre houses in the UK tells me Michelins for the 124 are made in Europe, will see where in Europe predominately with a bit of luck shortly. Seems they don't just come from anywhere at all.

 

[JBell]

I doubt I'd care to take many suggestions from you, But I would suggest that you are getting angry not me.

Not angry at all, I just seem to have missed the point of you continually asking the same question when it has been answered correctly so many times. Maybe frustrated would be a more accurate word to use in the context.

I would also suggest you have no idea what I know about 124 tyres

Clearly this is the square route of sod all, you can't even post the actual size you are trying in vain to discuss.

So onto "what do I know" about 124 tyres:

1. They should be round (yours unfortunately weren't)
2. They should be rubber (I do hope yours were)
3. There is no standard size, there are however standard sizes (model / year dependent)
4. They can be made anywhere in the world (this will depend on where the specific manufacturer decides will make the next batch)
5. Several manufacturers will make the correct size (This may become confusing)
6. They could be made anywhere in the world
7. They may have different Load / Speed rating.

Instead of "suggest" maybe "insinuate" would be a better word in the context of your sentence.

I'd suggest you take great delight in deliberately misunderstanding people, as there is evidence of all of this in your posts.

A woefully incorrect assumption, I have an intrinsic understanding of the English language (I have many years experience both speaking and writing, one could say it's my "first language") it as with several other forum members I have answered your question so therefore I have to assume it is you that has chosen to "deliberately" misunderstand people.

I apologise if my posts did not have the clarity you would expect or can comprehend, I do try to make them legible and easy to comprehend.

You clearly have no intention to help so just move along attach yourself to somebody elses posts.... You may wish to stop yelling too.

I have helped as has Pete, Craig and several other members, I put "shouty manner" as a tongue in cheek reference to the fact that although the same thing has been written on EVERY page of this thread you have chosen to (deliberately) misunderstand it every time.

So as you have advised me to "move along" here is my advice to you:

Read the thread, accept the answer (it is the only one you will get) and move along.

I don't think you have a clue what you are discussing here JBell. I think you are simply trying to hijack the thread.

 

[JBell]

I thought we were trying to ascertain the origin of 124 Michelin tyres for the UK market

Am I incorrect?

 

[Craiglxviii]

JBell, I think what we have here is someone who finds a well-laid-out response more difficult to understand than Calum would trying to tune up his carb jets whilst blindfolded.

I'm calling this an intrinsic understanding failure on the part of the OP.

What you are as far as I can see is a bully, a good old fashioned schoolyard bully.

As for the question, I now have my answer and with the exception of one of you you were all wrong.

 

[Craiglxviii]

OP, do you actually live on the same planet as everyone else here? I suspect you inhabit the same reality as Jeremy Corbyn. No one is bullying or hectoring, but you.

 

[WDB124066]

I'm not part of your clique if that's what you mean. As for the other part of your post do you care to give an example....?

 

[JBell]

What you are as far as I can see is a bully, a good old fashioned schoolyard bully.

I don't think you can see very far, should have gone to Specsavers

As for the question, I now have my answer and with the exception of one of you you were all wrong.

Please regale us with the answer and the source, I am sure there will be several people who will literally be on the edge of their seats waiting for the correct answer (I actually know the answer as I sold wheels and tyres for 5 years)

 

[WDB124066]

You do your own research - it's not hard, then post your proof here.

 

[geraldrobins]

Im curious now as to what a 124 is more commonly known as.

 

[JBell]

You do your own research - it's not hard, then post your proof here.

Therefore starting this thread was as pointless as fitting wheels to a Tomato - time consuming and completely unnecessary
