    It's a 1 star for snow and ice on Kaltire's website. Either that is the lowest rating available or you have a 20% chance of ending up driving 20 with your hazards on the entire way. Top up the blinker fluids just in case.

    Phone support lines that claim there is higher than expected call volume, always.

    I wonder what % of their calls they have to play that message, because for me it seems to be 90%+

    Well... ya. You can’t have staff idle for 10% of their day... so the obvious solution is to over work them 90% of the time as hiring more support would like... increase morale... that’s just stupid

    I care way less about their morale than the fact that I have been on hold for an hour

    People who do presentations and are tight on their time, so they waste more time saying "I know we are short on time, so I will be quick on this one.." multiple times throughout the presentation...

    Be more prepared FFS...

    How would you know how much more knowledgeable they are and how much work they put into everything though?

    Is there a correlation between old people and their competency at PowerPoint?
    Like, I don't get why someone does not test things before actually doing it.

    It's like a shitty chef who doesn't taste his food before plating.

    Be kind. Not everyone can be a certified PPT EIT.

    True.

    So, correction: It's not so much about PPT, I think it's more about someone not taking enough time to prepare what they want to say and wasting people's time.

    I just drove home on my 245/315 Invos in an inch of snow and I can say they're a 5/5 snow tire. You can't feed it any throttle or else it'll spin, even going downhill, but the gas savings are magnificent.

    Pet peeve: Kaltire wouldn't allow me to post the above sparkling review on their website.
