    winter tyre pressure?

    I was just wondering. The ambient temperatures will be lower so variation caused by tyres warming in use may be greater but snow and ice are softer than tarmac so I may want the tyres a trifle harder. Is there a rule of thumb - should I run winter tyres at the same pressure as my summer tyres?

    Not really but time for some new tyres.. I spend quite a lot of time on tracks and grass, the ground clearance could do with a boost. Something with an aggressive tread wouldn't hurt much either. Does anybody know what I can cram into a 97 Vito wheel arch without fouling? Currently budget...

    Does it make sense to reduce fuel duty?

    Does the price of fuel limit your mobility? Following on from the fuel thread where it was clear that we pay a fair bit of tax on petrol I was wondering how necessary it is to tax at the rate we do? Is it possible that the quantity of tax raised could be increased by dropping the rate? From...
