Title: Tire siping Post by: gleek on October 17, 2011, 09:44:10 AM Yea or nay?
This is Norcal, mind you, where it's wet as a sumbitch for about 3 months and then dry as bone for the other 9. Title: Re: Tire siping Post by: MFAWG on October 17, 2011, 06:35:28 PM Does this make any sense to you:
Let a guy that was working at McDonalds last week alter something that an engineer spent at least a week designing? No? Me neither. Nobody ever tried to sell me a siper based on how well it worked, it was ALWAYS how good a profit center it was. Here's a thought: Spend the 10 or 15 bucks on a BETTER TIRE! Title: Re: Tire siping Post by: gleek on October 18, 2011, 09:24:52 AM I take it that's a "nay". LOL.

Title: Re: Tire siping Post by: MFAWG on October 19, 2011, 06:46:45 PM heh, I read it as '50 crates' on mobile sans spectacles!
Pretty emphatic 'No' If you lived up here where it's wet 9 months with a few days of snow, I might get all the way to 'Maybe' but that's about it. I've never driven siped v non-siped, but my suspicion is that it destabilizes the treadblocks and makes the car more squirrely in the dry and at the limit.

At first I thought it was "Tire Spring", some sort of protest like Arab Spring or Wall Street Fall. Then I thought it said "Tired sniping" either the Ebay or hunting variety. (http://cdn.static.ovimg.com/episode/252414.jpg) |
