well OK American those tyre are pretty dam cool but maybe a little excessive for the U.K. lol

but..

i am staying in the south of Germany at the moment and trust me they get proper snow down here, not like the poxy bit of shite we get where after 14.5 seconds is just slush!!
they do make it a law here though where by the first snow fall you HAVE to have M+S tyres (mud and snow) obviously this isnt practical for us because we dont get enough, BUT that said the difference in grip levels is just astonising for something that doesnt have spikes like 'american's' tyres!!!
it would cetainly help to have a little more versatile tyre on cars during the shitty months though but its definatly no excuse for the shit bastards that get in there cars and sit on their brains!


rant over!!
