I mean that MEP is a bit of alright, if we're being fair.

 

If you were a Qatari sheik with stacks of cash lying about, wouldn't you throw her a bit too? 😆

 

A Merry Christmas to you and yours in the land of Eternal Rain

I'd def bribe her

Get a massive gaggle of them together (ie the EU) then naturally theres going to be even more corruption.

Never mind the lack of direct accountability in the EU parliamentary system.

I was thinking more along the lines of checking her tread pattern before tweaking her valves!

You have to laugh though...

 

I've actually managed to subvert your very sensible and topical road transport safety thread into an EU bashing!

 

That is some de-rail....  😀

Is that a de-rail or a skid off topic due to wrong compound for the conditions.

On the Crossclimates, another big advantage they have is that they are directional as opposed to inside/outside, so if the fronts get scrubbed a bit more on the outside you can swap right and left over which puts the outside on the inside.

Surely the only way to get the outside on the inside is to  turn it round on the rim . If you just swap left for right you still have a worn outside edge of the tier .

That's correct, I was talking about the tyres themselves, not the entire wheel.

 

Swapping the wheels over would also mean it was rotating the wrong way as well.

You'd be living dangerously though, probably a right bunny boiler.

No matter how much you rotate the wheels or play with the wipers, if you're carrying that spare like you just don't care it's going to cause parking issues 😉.

I’m just about to buy cross climates for the panda because I can’t seem to find Nokian anymore. Have you found any in 15”?

 

Typically I’d just found a new set at very good money (40 plus vat a tyre) for the corsa before I sold it to a mate. Think they might be stopping importing them 😞

 

Sorry, no. My little Peugeot (107) is on 14" steels. Did consider a Panda for the AWD and roof rails but the Yellow Peril came up and was just too cute. In hindsight, I could have waited and then I probably wouldn't perennially have an inch of water in the back footwell.
