I know that a lot wouldn't take it out because a lot leave it in the garage, but when it is your only mode of transportation, I don't have much of a choice!
NO.. DO NOT drive the P-Zero's in snow.

I live in the Seattle area and our winters are usually between high-30's to low-50's for temps and RAIN.. lots of it.

I had to get a new set of tires because when temps get around 40-45 degrees and even rain, the P-Zeros have little traction and it doesn't take much to spin those rear tires out.

In fact, the car gets more squirrelly than Central Park in the Spring.

The new BFG G-Force Comp2's I bought handle even standing water at 40-45 degree temps beautifully.

Even at that, I won't drive the Camaro in the snow... except about 6 blocks to the empty parking lot at the grocery store so I can open up my own bakery in their parking lot.
