Summer Tires in Winter - Observation
#46
So... can summer tires can lose traction easily on DRY pavement if temps are in the 30's or lower? I've driven mine around on several occasions when it was in the 20's but dry and didn't seem to have a problem. Although, I was not doing any spirited driving at the time.

I was warned by my dealer, it is not recommended to use my OEM PZeros in temperatures less than 40 deg. They are especially dangerous while braking in cold temps. So I just leave the 997S in the garage and drive my Audi S6 with Blizzaks. I think they are the best. They are exceptional on icy surfaces as well as slippery, slushy or snow. But you don't wanna use Blizzaks on warm pavement. It will waste them away.
