Just brought home this new to me 2016 Z06 yesterday. Beyond thrilled. I still can't believe its mine. Also beyond bummed that its in the 30's for the foreseeable future where I live.

Congrats! Please resist the temptation incold weather to try it out!

They are a beast. When it’s below 60 I get cautious, below 50 and really concerned!

just wait until it warms up a little before you open her up.

IDK, I THINK UNDER 50 IS FUN. Kind of like tracking in the rain with the cup tires.��

Listen to this guy, I don't put mine away because of the snow, I do it because of the temperature.

I just mounted my Michelin A/S 3+ all-season tires last week and am really enjoying having them on the car now that we're in the 30s & 40s in my area. Definitely better traction than the MPSS tires - fortunately we hardly get any snow here so I can drive my Z06 just about all "winter" here. Beautiful car - if you're like me, the feeling won't wear away. Two years and counting on my car and I still have to stop and look back at it when I park...
