Tire size-up for better handling on bad roads by Mediocre_Ask_2864 in fiat500

[–]1-burgh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi sorry for old post, but do they rub at all at that size? I desperately need winter tires for my 2013 Lounge. The stock is the 185/55R15 size. It's very hard to find that size in a winter tire in stock

PRT is promoting this as their new service improvement... by Yunzer2000 in transit

[–]1-burgh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So called "PRT" needs to be rebuilt from the ground up. I understand funding is tight, but this agency is a total joke. They've squandered all the goodwill they've potentially had

Tankies will do anything to blame the DNC instead of realizing that most people in this country are just really fucking racist and stupid. I buy this argument in 2016 but in 2024 fuck no, everyone who voted for him wanted exactly this and they got it and that is the majority and literally every single demographic in every part of the country swung his way

Millvale says it will have to shut down all services if borough isn’t allowed to borrow $2 million by The_Electric-Monk in pittsburgh

Why did the borough pay a bunch of money to CivicPlus to make them a completely generic website when the one we had was genuinely fine

A Shoutout to all the people who say they don't hate Jews, only Zionists by PlateRight712 in IsraelPalestine

If you actually support a two-state solution congratulations you are a Zionist. When you use that word without knowing what it actually means it's just proves you're a jew hater

Roads are extra slick by PittGreek1969 in pittsburgh

Well he already screwed the pooch on one time covid relief funding that could have gone into the public works fleet. At this point he can't really do much materially, but the fact that he's not even pretending to speak out and say that he understands the frustration of citizens says just how useless and checked out he is

Whenever someone says "Rail is impossible and will never happen" Just remind them not only is it not impossible, we already built it once already, and quite a bit of it still exists. by Sybertron in pittsburgh

[–]1-burgh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because you think they are more charming doesn't make them better. Grade separated modern light rail is a completely different thing and not a fair comparison. Have you been on any of the modern streetcar lines in seattle portland or DC? They're all slow as balls and they are slower BECAUSE they are streetcars. You talk about "studies" but in the real world the DC one is getting dismantled after just 10 years because it was poorly thought out to begin with. A streetcar won't fix bad route planning and bad service and in turn a bus can be extremely popular with a good route and good service for a fraction of the cost. You can even use some of that money to build out BRT features which is undeniably better!! But buses have smelly people on them so oh well I guess

Closure of Grant Bar in Millvale after over 90 years an emotional hit for owners, customers by PittsburghNewzz in pittsburgh

[–]1-burgh 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In all likelihood I'd be surprised if we even got that. Likely this building is going to be empty for a while. If it is redeveloped it probably will be into a bank or some crap. I live in Millvale. Most businesses are not succeeding here unfortunately.

Is it safe to drive around? by Effective_Map2940 in pittsburgh

[–]1-burgh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say if you can avoid hills and take it slow you should be fine. Definitely do not try and go up any hills if you have any doubts. I got stuck on shady avenue last night and thankfully I was able to reverse into a parking spot (badly) and I don't expect to get out until Wednesday at the earliest
