Blue Tires! (not to be confused with blue *****)

That's what happens when one lives in the burbs of Chicago. That along with high taxes, etc are what caused me to settle down south ages ago. I do not miss it.

I grew up in Iowa, did high school in Chicago...don't miss that crap at all.
This winter has been good here in Texas and I am happy. No blue here...of any kind.

So's the inside of a pizza oven. 
Drove into Nevada a number of years ago, coming from Arizona. Stopped at the first rest stop / tourist info center and the outside temp was 120. The A/C in my rented Chevy Impala was struggling. But in Vegas it cooled down nicely at night: all the way down to 100!

OP, don't care to see either COLD or FROZEN. I am sure both mean your car is sleeping for the winter. Like to drive mine everyday unless it is pouring rain. Do like most snow birds do, travel to FL for the winter and return in the spring.

Anyone know what the temps are that correspond to the Frozen and Cold designations? Warm and Hot too if you have them.

This post defines the ranges for Cold, Warm and Hot, but not Frozen:

Integrated Tire Temperature/Chassis Controls
Chevy uses the tire temperature data available through the C7's tire pressure sensors to more carefully control its ABS and electronic differential. Because the pressure sensors don't measure tire temperature directly (they actually measure the temperature of the TPMS sensor's microprocessor), it's not a perfect science, but it is one that data modeling can largely overcome. And it's one more piece of information that can be utilized to enhance the driving experience.
Tire temps are split into three categories: cold (below 45 degrees), warm (45-115 degrees) and hot (above 115 degrees). In "cold" mode ABS intervenes sooner and more progressively, while the differential is more aggressive to limit inside wheelspin. As temps increase, ABS control intervenes later and becomes more lenient, while differential locking ramps up more slowly.
