But… doesn’t low tire pressure lead to worse fuel economy???

Surely they realize that as rich haters of trees and things we will just drive around with the tires flat until our garageman notices and refills the tires.

Or, for the savvy among us, just whip out the hose and refill from our onboard air.

Big oil really did a great job shifting the blame for global climate change on local consumers.

All you need to know about the source - the UK Daily Mail - is that they supported Hitler and Mussolini right through the 1930s. They are also famously racist and anti-immigrant and were found making up stories about the suburb of Didsbury (in greater Manchester) last year.

They make stuff up all the time to get them traction in social media and reposts on right-wing US media

This may have happened once or twice in London due to some crazy hippies / anarchists / radical environmentalists

No, it’s happening. Board member if my old company (London based) in Southwark last fall, on his Range Rover. Deflated 2 tires. Right near Borough Market.

I would argue tho that this has zero to do with Democrats. Not sure why that came up above….

Yeah, okay. What are they making up? If anything, the reality is worse than their reporting.

The reality is that hasn't happened and does not happen.

There are plenty of other things you can and should worry about. Nobody is letting the air out of your tires because they don't like SUVs

And, if you are in the US like most people on the forum, the Defender barely registers as a mid sized SUV. I think the hippies are going to have their hands full with expedition maxs, suburbans, escalades, grand wagoneers and all the other 20' long monsters



But if you are a denier of climate change you maybe don't deserve a slap, maybe some remedial education. Let me know, I can explain how the earth's atmosphere works if you like

"Worry" is most absolutely not a word I'd use for these clowns.
