My pilots hold nothing in the winter nor are they designed to. You are correct C7... DO NOT drive your Vette or any car on Michelin Pilot SS or Cup 2 or any other performance summer tires. if you're going to winter drive change to a winter tire. And given the amount of idiots and novice other drivers who do not know how to drive anything on slippery roads, I will take my chances with stabilized fuel and a nice warm safe garage. JMHO
