I'm looking into inventory of Kerbeck. I've found one that matches my preference. It comes with the 19'' and 20'' rear wheels. However, the factory tires come with the vehicle seem to be only summer tires. see the explanation below in the window sticker.
All C7's, Porsche, Ferrari etc etc use summer only tires to get the performance they spend so much engineering effort in the car to achieve!
I'm wondering if all the members with these tires use their C7 in the summer?..Why don't these wheels come with all season tires instead?.
I'm planning to use C7 as a daily driver and don't want to have tires for each season.

When I lived up-north (up to 30 years ago) always had another set of wheels and winter tires, either snow tires or in CT a special tire that was good on ice down to 29 or 30 F! Then still had the performance of my Pirelli summer P7's most of the year. All-Season's are a compromise between the best winter and summer performance, IMO. Your choice but if you want a high performance car you'll have to get another set of tires or switch to the compromise all-seasons at your cost.
Could always buy a Jeep and use the knobby off-road tires all year. Had a CJ5 when I lived along Lake Erie in North East Ohio!

If they all read the same suggest two possibilities; 1) the tire gauge is not accurate, 2) more than likely when you filled to 35 psi the tires were warm from driving and when they cooled they dropped to 32.
Have to compare when the car has sat for ~8 hours and when it is exactly the same temp outside.

Why don't they come with A/S tires? Because A/S tires do really limit the performance of the car. With 460HP, it's not hard to engage the traction control with A/S tires mounted. I can definitely tell the difference in how my car handles and brakes when I switch from the OEM tires to A/S ones.
