As long as there isn't snow/ice on the roads drive your car and enjoy it.

Okay took the car for a short burst out on the highway today. The soft tires on the Z51 picked up every fricken rock possible. Sounded like a hail storm going on in the fender wells. Going to wait untill after my 2 week bike trip in AZ before trying it again, look out April 8th. Damm I hate living here.
