[QUOTE="Rruuff Day, post: 177324, member: 2217"] This time of year the ground is warm. That will radiate upward to the asphalt and keep it warmer than the air until we start getting below zero temps regularly. At 5 degrees (+/-) the tires will be cold at first, don't be punching the throttle too hard or try pulling too many g's on the corners. Drive like my mother would have until the tires warm up a bit (and it won't take long) and you will be fine. If you do have to show off a bit, do it in a straight line and experiment slowly to gauge where it wants to break those rear tires loose. You're not driving a 650 hp Z06. They will break loose a lot easier but still are more than driveable at cooler temps if you're careful. It won't hurt the tires until you get down well below zero and they freeze. [/QUOTE]
