Most tires now have little nubbins to let you know when you are down to the legal minimum tread depth... that and sliding all over the place in the wet!  |

One wonders how some people don't notice things like low pressure tyres due to handling changes, and as you say the tendency to slide when wet.
Perhaps it is just me, who wonders what the slightest change in performance, noise is with the car, and has tested to see how it feels when ABS kicks in, traction control etc |

I notice every little thing on my car... I am used to having cars that would get pulled over on a regular basis for a road side check.... So I have never been able to risk not checking my car..
I am always shocked at some friends that never check anything...

I have had mine from new since Feb 2002, and know every noise that it makes, and every marks and scratches on her.
Although she is only a machine to some, I have strong emotional attachment to her.  |

"I keep getting a noisy rattling from in car, only stops when I leave the kids at home! "
reminds me of a story
my parents were driving us down to see our nan many moons ago when my dad started hearing a squeeking noise, he stopped to see what it could be but nothing was wrong so he started again and he could still here it.
wasnt till about the 4th or 5th time he stopped he realised it was the sound of my sister sucking her thumb |
