    I hear how terrible synthetic-ruber tires (read: all modern tires) are for the environment, and I’ve wondered why we can’t do this? If we made the cars lighter and used very good shocks? Or bikes even - they are all rubber too.

        And the turning radius is atrocious. Most crossroads would become complicated multipoint maneuvers. The speedometer would be wrong too but going above half the speed limit is a death wish anyway.

        You spelled “tires” wrong.

        And before you say it’s a regional difference, American native English speakers outnumber the next 3 countries combined, and none of them are England (which is 5th). Which means that the way we do it is the correct one.
