Well, yeah...could you point out where you plainly stated that you used them already in the cold/wet? Even w/a re-read I did not see that. Even if you had told me so before I installed them, I would have still done it. Not because your opinon did not matter to me, but I WANTED to try them in moderate temps. I'm glad I did try them too because of the particular situation with my car. Simple, and I already thought about it all by myself.
Not taking an overly-corrective position toward other people's actions and decisions is the final frontier in getting along. Having and knowing decent information is one thing, presenting it to others in a positive format they are happy to accecss is another. I was not fully aware you had used these same tires as I planned (minus sipes) rather than speculating about them, I might have responded differently to you. That being said, consider how much credit you gave me for making my own informed decision based on my needs and the mfg's M+S stamp plus the fact I was going to further modify them. That's lot of factors, known only to the person making the decision. So, after all that, maybe I'll sipe them a lil harder now, thanks. -Clark
