There have been a lot of posts on here. Now if I was David Camoron, I would say: Good that's all settled then, the yes vote is clearly for winter tyres from October to March and pretty much everybody is in agreement that compulsory winter tyres would be a good idea.  ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

A few people want to stop the sale of budget tyres, but in these hard economic times, it would be unfair to restrict choice, especially as the paper with an EU directive I have in my hand ensures OOF members peace in our time as it is the compulsory winter tyre law, which will mean much more expense for motorists  :P ;D ;D ;D ;D

It boils down to an informed choice, hence my earlier suggestion for a structured test of tyres which suit both budget and the Omega.

That way we can rule out the crap ones, both cheap and expensive.

A good all round tyre will always be a better choice than a pish winter one, regardless of where you live :y

What about Spain then? Compulsory winter tyres there?

Throughout Europe? Don't be daft.

even in antalya it snows where summers exceed 46+ celicus..  it simply doesnt mater how is summer.. if temperature drops and its wet you se them.. only on equator line they dont have use..
yes because that's YOUR climate. Why on earth would you assume the rest if the world is the same? Frost in the am, dos not mean you need winter tyres. It's can be 10c by lunch time here.

You have your tires to suit your needs. DON'T try to enforce it elsewhere, where you have no experience of that climate.
 
 We tried that in the crusades, and rightly learned a lesson. I suggest you try it cem. I wouldn't dare suggest banning winter tyres in a country I know nothing about.

In fact yes, I'll do a cem. Ready....

<cem mode on>
ALL WINTER TYRES SHOULD BE BANNED IN TURKEY.  I know nothing about the country I've never been there other than on the Internet, yet I know best and everyone who lives there s wrong.
<cem mode off>

See? Don't be so bloody ridiculous.

 
what do you think, I live on mars ;D  frost is frost, snow is snow, rain is rain and finally cold is cold in UK  ::)
 
and your cars skid like ours and dont forget I can watch most of your roads on line.. so tell me something that I dont know..

You want a list? ;D

That should keep the campaign managers of Mr cem, Mr D and Mr Gixer busy.  :P ;D ;D ;D
