While driving cautiously and trusting my own judgement I felt reasonably safe, but throw in all the idiots we share the roads with, I just didn't want the unpredictabilty at the limit. All seasons went on and I've had no trouble in several inches of snow and as low as 16 below zero. Come spring I'll get a second set of wheels and reinstall the factory summer tires.
16 below zero damn! !


I had track tires like that before. Really made no noise. U could feel where it start to slip then bam it really loses grip..
Coldest been here the summers still pull .8Gs before cutting lose. I cut them lose on purpose sometimes for fun it oversteers in the cold. These summer arent bad. Very controllable
