Normally you don't put them on unless the weather is consistently below 7 degrees. He'll wear them out if he has them on already.
Go read up on 'em before commenting..I hope he is not in the UK
Thank you for the edit and explanation, I thought the reference by andryd was to winter tyresGo read up on 'em before commenting..
Edit: they're an all-weather, all-year tyre - not specifically a winter tyre but meet the winter tyre rules for most European countries that have them..
I'm not a fan off all-season tyres at all; to me they are average all round. I guess it all depends on what vehicle you drive and what demands it makes on the tyres in the first place.
It started out as winter tyres, then I steered it onto the crossclimates. The reviews of them are universally positive.Thank you for the edit and explanation, I thought the reference by andryd was to winter tyres
Not everyone needs winter tyres, we rarely get much snow or ice in this part of Essex. Hopefully not everyone will require an autonomous car neither.
I drove 3.0L capris (RWD for those that don't know are very tail happy in the wet, let alone snow and ice) for years and during that time endured some heavy snowfalls,
And that is more than enough to send the country into turmoil ! I mean, seriously?
Same here ( and yes I drive one for work and yes it does go off road, great fun
)
That is a hell of a lot of optional extras. A lot of them were standard on my Focus.Looks like I might be contributing a bit more to this thread in the not to distant future
I hope I didn't forget to tick something on the list

I'm intrigued to know what man made leather is.
I like my toys not all are cost options, it is dependent on the model. Most came standard but as mine is build in Affalterbach I think they list a number as factory options whilst on this model they are standard.

No denying the good reviews
One thing I note is that they test on small lower powered cars, and seem to compare to energy saver plus tyres. I guess from that that it is not yet ready for the primetime. They also don't do it in my size either 
As should all children
As with all these add ons, just something else for those that can't drive and have to rely on all these gadgetsCan I ask, what is ; +513 Traffic Sign Assist
As we've got that in our current X166Crikey you are generous, ideally they should be towed in a designated `box`, but fair play to you.
Can I ask, what is ; +513 Traffic Sign Assist
The front facing camera is connected via a wireless personal area network. The imagery that is streamed is scanned for roadsigns and the overhead boards. It then analysis it and combines it with the on board warning system. For example the satnav compares it to actual speed and warns if you go over. The center display between theach dials shows a digital image, and the heads up display projects it on the windscreen. With distatronic it can also regulate the speed of the vehicle.

I can do that, I look out the window and see if one is soft
I do that before I switch off the engine
Memory going is it?

In your dreamsOh and when passing Isuzu pickup trucks
- pretty sure he didn't believe me

It should be noted that this time I do not have the distatronic nor HUD as my wife never used it and I don't drive it enough. If it was my daily I probably would.
I do like how the signs are rexpected. Especially handy around London with the variable speed motorways.
I bought a Samsung Galaxy J5 a few weeks back. It keeps telling me where I parked my car and how long it will take me to get home. No idea how or why.No excuses are necessary when you are a proper man and like gadgets. Just because well they are gadgets
Can't wait to look on my phone in the lounge and see my tyre pressure or how full my tank it or where I parked it. It was only small price to pay and proper gadget.
Simple. You likely have it connected via Bluetooth. It simply saves the last known location when it disconnects from the Bluetooth. If it doesn't it's the Ford magic dust.
I don't use the Bluetooth, It's nothing to do with the car, the phone is doing it all by itself. The only thing I understand of the concept of gadgets is people become lazy and too reliant on them. I prefer doing most things for myself. Keeps the mind and body active.Simple. You likely have it connected via Bluetooth.

Regarding the orbs and grey matyer; Me thinks you don't understand the concept of a gadget
I don't get that why some dealers behave like that. Sytner went out of its way. No actually they didn't, it felt normal. I wanted to hear this engine in a C43 AMG that I saw in the showroom. They tried to start but it wouldn't. The booster pack also didn't work. So they gave me a car for a test drive whilst they sorted it. The testdrive car didn't pass the PDI that morning, but they fixed it quickly. And that was the backstop model which I hoped would be good enough but was too sluggish for my liking. So I declined. Then listened to another C43 with some more miles as I thought the new one was too tinny sounding. And for fun the new c63 Coupe. Nothing seem to be a problem or hard. All just nice and smooth. End result we worked out a deal an I bought a car. Three days later got the build date and delivery confirmed.I was in local Audi dealership with an R8 that had one on steering wheel - miserable b****r wouldn't start it up and let me have a play.
Said, fine, won't buy the car then and walked away
Hmm interesting in that case it's the Ford magic dust. I mean how else does it know where you car isI don't use the Bluetooth, It's nothing to do with the car, the phone is doing it all by itself.

I think it is something to do with Google Maps. It uses that to show me where the car is, but how it knows I have left the car in the car park and walked into work confuses me. I haven't entered anything into the phone to determine where home is, but when I am at work it likes to tell me where the car is parked and how long it will take me to get home. It hasn't as far as I'm aware told me wher ethe car is when I'm at home, or how long it would take me to get to work.Hmm interesting in that case it's the Ford magic dust.

Ps. Seriously it can still be Bluetooth. You can pick it up without pairing. It's a technique also used for queue management to track the mac address through several sensors. That way you know how quick people are moving in a queue.
Pps Your like doing it by yourself. There is a name for that

Doing it yourself is supposed to be good for the prostrate.
Thereally are other techniques to determine your home location without entering anything. Welcome to my world 
It is another method of doing it, but not the only one. I've implemented the afore mentioned systems. The Mercedes system is slightly different again and actually pro-actively communicating with you mobile device to utilise the onboard GPS data.
That sounds like it, I'd been listening to Marillion on my tablet recently and then a message popped up on my phone telling me Marillion have a new album.
Mine work in mist and fog, Sunday morning was foggy on the way to work, all I had to do was put the fog lights on in the thicker patches.
