I have noticed the last few days with temperatures around 7 or 8 degrees that I have to travel maybe 15 km for the tires to go from showing cold to showing cool . Yesterday at +5c even after 30 km they still weren’t indicating normal temperature . Didn’t seem to affect grip but then again I wasn’t pushing it. Drive normally in weather mode and you should be fine. Have a safe trip. You will have a big smile on your face!Yes, like I said it's a good thing she is on 4 season tires. I have to drive her home and it's like 700 km.
