Post by: mrsid2 on December 29, 2001, 04:38:00 PM: Actually soon you can, Nokia is developing 'smart tyres' which report temperature, air pressure, flats etc. to the cars computer.

Post by: FlyingDuckSittingSwan on December 29, 2001, 04:47:00 PM: Who cares what temperatures your tyres are? I mean, what difference will it make, it's not like we're in the Indy 500 or something!
And as for pressure, you're supposed to check them and adjust them once a week anyway. As for flats. Who doesn't notice they have a flat!!!!?????? Must be a real idiot who doesn't notice he's driving on the rim. I wonder how much these useless things will add to tyre price. They already cost a fortune.
Now why don;t they make different coloured tyres. That is a good idea! Imagine...red tyres on your red car. Nice! :cool:

Post by: mrsid2 on December 29, 2001, 06:49:00 PM: FDSS I'd prefer to read the pressure from the dashboard instead of dirtying my hands with the tyres.

Also, if a tyre gets damaged for some reason or camber goes bad etc. tyre temperature will warn you about that.

But.. I guess you wouldn't know how to use those functions anyway.

Post by: eskimo2 on December 30, 2001, 02:51:00 AM: Best snow tires in the world!

I've done a bit of research, the Nokian Hakkapeliitta snow tires consistantly rated on top in all comparison tests that I could find.
After growing up in Alaska, and learning to drive on snow, I have yet to drive anything that compares to them.
I love watching the looks on peoples faces when they watch an old rear wheel drive beater drive past their stuck four wheel drive... WTF?????

It's like watching a realy fat guy win a foot race. LOL :)

Well thats not that easy. The reason why tires/tyres are black is that they contain carbon black to protect them from UV radiation. That fat white french guy claimed a few years ago that he is able to make coloured tires, but I havent seen anything commercial so far.

Oh man, I feel you pain!
:D

Two things:
1. Telling air pressure on low profile tyre can be quite difficult without a gauge.

2. What the heck I'm doing at the work today? :eek:

Post by: Grendel on December 31, 2001, 04:30:00 AM: And I thought you've had an AH Finland vs Sweden match ;-)

But what I see, egos in extreme :O

We had a wonderful Finland vs Sweden battle in WB x years ago. Werry fun.

Was three fights, all roll simultaneously from opposing fields andstart climbing.

Fight 1: Finns 109 F, Swedes Spit V
2: All P-39
3: Planes free

Don't remember who won though...

The Ruskies beat us some 2 years ago when we fought Finns vs Russians fight though :) Score 2 to 1 for them. That was great ;-)
