To be honest, the tires wasn't one of the things I paid much attention to when buying the car. If I had known then that they were summers (which I really didn't even know existed) I might have made a different choice. Since I live in the south I doubt it, but maybe. Just to clarify, I don't have any problems with the Pirellis in cold weather. One morning after a 3-day freeze I noticed the "marble" effect some others have mentioned, but I just took it easy and all was fine. However, I could see how a northerner with a v-8 might have a bit more trouble.
Ok one thing you fail to realize about 80% of people that buy performance cars don't drive them all year round and have a second car. If you live in Michigan like I do or a cold weather state its pretty much the norm that you don't get a car like this unless you have a winter beater, meaning you aren't driving this thing is bad weather period. At least it holds true when buying pure V8 high horsepower cars.
