Could be winter tyres? if there is an M+S (mud and snow) on side walls

If so then Legal tread depth will be 4mm not the usual 1.5mm

Yeah have a issue with that / the law change from 1.5mm to 4mm for winter tyres a few years ago.

Understand why it was done because wearing out winter tyres can over heat and blowout under normal conditions because they are a softer compound (lower speed rated tyre) designed to operate best in colder winter conditions.

Also Cheapskates were using/mixing worn out winter tyres ( ex japan) and with conventional tyres as well and there were some accidents attributed to this.

But have been using winter tyres since 1992 in full and mixed applicaions ( driving wheels only)

private and commercial my subarus and drove taxis with them for 5 winters (cars/Hiace vans) this included doing skifield transfers in the southern lakes area. And had no issues.

Think its a liitle unfair the min 4mm depth as it means it penalises the use of them (extra saftey etc) and the cost of only being able to half use tyres.

It penilises responsible users like myself and others "We are Borg" ? ie by taking them off when not required (having them fitted on spare rims in order to do this easily.)

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
