I agree with the foxy gentleman that maybe the tyre analogy is not one of David's best.
If you went to Norway or Sweden in any given January you would discover that tyre standards are very different to those of Greece or southern Italy.
But then again as an analogy it does demonstrate my point about the difficulty of implementing a British-based system of standards across the wide variation of continental-Europe. We may think our tyres are suitable for all 'weathers'. Other Europeans might disagree...
