Change of tires




I do not really understand the difference between winter tires, all season tires, summer tires... fact is, like everyone else in my 'hood, I spent hours waiting while  the shop switched my summer tires for winter tires. It was so extremely frustrating, and being unable to relax or work like the above examples, all I could do to pass time was  iphone-shot snapping in the little waiting area.

  1. ik had een afspraak en hoefde slechts 15 minuten te wachten in het wachtzaaltje van de garage. en met een lekker kop koffie en een boek was dit zelfs zeer ontspannend ;-)

  2. Is it something to do with winter tyres having more grip in the icy weather Annie? I'm not sure, we don't have that predicament here, no snow unfirtunately :) I enjoyed your photographic documentation of the different way people spent their time while they waited :)

  3. I bought winter tires for my bike last week. They have a lot of spikes. I need to go for a 40 km ride on asphalt before the roads get snowy and ice, but I'm not sure if they will fit on my wheels yet.

  4. Grappig al die wachtende mensen, ja de banden zitten er hier er ook al op.

  7. All car owners have had these waits. I'm with the guy with the book. Reading is always a good escape. I've got my winter tires mounted on wheels, so I just have to change the tires in the fall and spring to get the right ones on.

  8. I don't bother. Winters aren't that hard here.

  9. Hallo Anni,
    Als je ooit eens s'winters hier in de Ardennen komt rondrijden zal je het verschil al gauw merken ;-)
    Ik zou het niet zonder willen riskeren!
    Prettig weekend,
    Frans

  10. With a good book, a long wait can be transformed in a very good and pleasing moment!
