7-10c forcast for sat-sun

Might not happen of course, too far away to be accurate IMO. And the weather may turn again after true enough. But two week cycles of high or low do seem to dictate a change.

Could be the start of summer....

Time to change back to summer tyres then

Interesting isn't it?

 I do wonder though, when did the temp drop low enough that you had to remove your summer tyres and fit your "winter tyres" LD?

Now wait.... this is a tentative subject for some here so lets be reallly generous.... I mean we could be realistic and say it was a week ago, so that would be two weeks obviously "if" the forecast is correct.... But lets be generous, lets say it was 3 weeks ago, when the temp dropped into winter tyre range. ... No lets say 4 weeks shall we? , because it really was 13c just after Christmas, but I can't be sure exactly when. (Not to the the nearest second anyway )

So if the above is ok with.... everyone ...

The temp was 13c 4 weeks ago here. Certainly considerably above 7c. This means, I'm told, that summer tyres MUST be fitted. It was then hovering around zero on average for a while during the day, this means winter tyres MUST be fitted, I'm told. ... and its due to go back up to the same temps it was before. Well above 7c, again, being generous.


So be sure to "change your tyres" back to summer tyres after only 4weeks though LD    (actually only 1 week ago, but lets not be picky)  because everyone you drive within 10metres of will fall down dead due to your irresponsible behaviour if you don't.   .....Fe@kin  SIGH......


So would you mind reminding us all Lazydocker....what where the temps like where you where in the uk?

No need  Those tyres work just as well when the temperature is 15° and drizzling in the summer

yesterday it was sunny and 16 celcius.. today 8-10 celcius rainy.. and I'm hammering the cars with winter tyres as usual..    both cars will stay in winter tyres until march 15.. omega a little longer as it will be in the paint shop for a long time

this year snowed only in december for a week or more..    summertime it will be a problem with water.. rainfalls quickly evaporate as its hot here..

I sense another one of 'those' tyre threads coming on.....

I sense another one of 'those' tyre threads coming on..... 

I luuuuuuuuuuuuv my winter tyres on my Renault Trafic van, especially when towing a trailer. You know there was a day before Christmas, I changed my tyres 3 times in one day - the temperature that day really did vary - 5 deg in the AM, 15 deg in the PM and 5 deg again the the late PM. 

I even now carry the other set around with me in the back of the van - ya know, just in case.

I may have mentioned this before, but my sc3 are absolutely terrible in snow. Really are bad.

I knew I should have insisted on the Four Marks curry house last night, especially as it's just over the brow of the hill.
