I imagine they can tolerate it, as they are not fragile race tires.
I know there are warnings not to drive on them in freezing temps, but are there warnings that they have to be discarded after exposure to freezing?
Plenty of garages get concrete temps below freezing right?
Extended temps below freezing may affect them, but I don't know for sure. Thats why I bagged mine and wrapped an electric blanket around them last winter.

not any I know. We don't have any kind of snow btw. We are kind of death valley hot here.

I like the fact that I am encouraged to put them on after your post

Thanks man.

I got my 295 MPSS installed on my 4S today. They work great and look as good as my Pirelli 305s did.

Default Is Santa bringing me some MPSS for Christmas?

I decided that it was worth putting in an advance order for a set of MPSS with tirerack (they wont bill until fitments are ready to ship).

contact damon@tirerack.com if interested.

I did that but was nearly bald so had to do something.

I have to say that I did not see the "big" difference fro the Pirelli to the Michelin like everyone says. I can't tell much difference at all.

Wow! Is it really necessary to keep the tires above freezing even if you aren't driving on them? I am not making fun. I would like to know.

PZero are good so that is understandable.
However, PSS like lower temps.
Try dropping to Comfort w/ Standard-Load pressures and then let us know if they seem better.
Also, they are squirely when new.
They get better after 1000 miles.

I have them at 30 front and 33 rear. I will see how they do after a while. They are fine just not the wow I have read about. They should at least last longer than the 11500 I got on the Pirellis.

Those are good pressures.
Yes, they will last longer, my rears are at 15K and should get to 18K+.
That was w/ heavy AX and light track use.

The difference in road noise is quite dramatic. But you may not notice that in a cab.

This wait is crazy!

Id almost go with the 245/295 MPSS combo but i really want to get 305's on the rear since i got new rims.

I guess i can just get a set of Pzero 305's, im just not a huge fan of those tires right now.
And MPSC2s are just way too overkill... and im in FL and get caught in the rain alot.


Has anyone tried the ContiforceContact??

As for the fronts, what was the consensus again? 245 or 255's (For MPSS).
