Could not help myself
It has been a long winter. Today temps got to 32 and the streets are mostly clear so I had to get her out. Ran about 75 miles. Temps varied from 26 to 32 and the Michelin SS tires worked flawlessly. Pretty easy to break loose from a dead stop but once they warmed up they stuck pretty good. Ran up to 100 a couple of times and got them warm and they worked a lot better. Nothing really wild but never had cause to worry.

I drive my vert with my top down wearing a T shirt and shorts most every day in the winter here in LA.

All this being said- Ive been driving on z rated summer tires on my dds for years- Once they warm up they don't break as much - just takes a bit of restraint. Im moving to the c7 in 6 weeks am i missing something about the vette?

Sorry about those temps you are dealing with. Those cold temps would kill us out here in Az. We've been running 70-85 degrees already.
