So how cold can Z06 tires get in storage without being damaged?
The last I read was about a year ago:
"...Summer tires should be stored indoors at temperatures above 20°F (-7°C) when not in use. If the tires have been subjected to 20°F (-7°C) or less, let them warm up in a heated space to at least 40°F (5°C) for 24 hours or more before being installed or driving a vehicle on which they have been installed. Inflate the tires only after they have been warmed above 40°F (5°C)..." Per Bulletin #04-03-10-013.
The way I read this no minimum storage temperature has been stated. Is it OK if the tires are exposed to some of the really cold North American temperatures well below 20F, as long as the above procedure is followed?
