But would that not require a different type of winter tyre and oil for the engine?

Discuss.  :) ::)

Spiked winter tyres didn't end well for the baddies in James Bond, but they did seem to cope with real live actual snow... guess the oil would need to be thinner to stop it going syrupy :-\

Or could you use 10w40 and simply bypass the oil cooler :-\

Decisions, descisions... ;D

Should think that donk would have gone subterranean and ploughed him a nice tunnel where he landed too!

Anyway, no changing topic! This is supposed to be an oil thread, not a winter tyre thread. ::)

You have just enough time to organise a trip to the Elephant Rally. Just change the oil, fit your winter tyres, put Mrs T on the back and off you go.  :y :y :y

When you get back you can then advise CG on the best winter tyres for his Fireblade.  :P :o :o :o
