Before I start saying anything about the performance of NDT's, I must admit that I may not have met all my responsibilities for using them.
The tread rubber has become hard - probably harder than expected by the designers and manufacturers. Is is my fault that my newest NDT tires are over ten years old?
My tires are not inflated to match the situation. Is it my fault that I do not own the appropriate technical manual? ...or follow the guidance provided therein?
I can tell by the difference in the tracks which tire is slipping. Is it my fault that my tires are made by different manufacturers and have different tread patterns? ...or that one is actually a NDCC and not a NDT?
Actually, I have considered all the factors - to the best of my knowledge and my references - that affect traction and you have my promise that if my tires cannot handle the situation you will not see me coming towards you. I'll check my tires, change vehicles, chain up, or stay home.
