Thanks for the insult. You're obviously not bright enough to respond to my points properly, so just turned to insults. Why did you bother replying again?

At least i back up my opinions with fact and actually question things unlike half the sheep who buy winter tyres because some random guy on a forum said that they are the best thing ever.

How is that a contradiction? I've said that i've only ever felt i could do with winter tyres once before. But for those who couldn't drive for those 3-4 days last year and your journey is essential, take a taxi?

That's what i was talking about in my last post - for those who need to travel on those few days of snow, get a taxi. I need to get to work and live in a very rural location - i've never had a problem getting a taxi. Nor have i ever heard of anyone else at that?

No, because part of the problem with actually having the brain is "not just accepting something because someone on a forum once made up that winter tyres are essential and anyone without them is an idiot and is going to die and kill everyone at the same time".

I haven't failed to make a point actually. In my previous post i made many many points which i'd like to invite people to discuss.

No thanks - i think i'll continue discussing winter tyres in a thread about....winter tyres.

P.s. i hope you don't plow into the back of anyone on one of the many many non snowy days because you have winter tyres and takes you another 7-10metres to stop in the wet.

I won't be driving in the 3 days of snow we will get, but i'm guessing you'll be driving in the 100 days of wet roads we'll get.

Question: Why are you paying so much just so you can get around in 3-4 days of snow?
