Picking up my Z tomorrow. Good to drive in 33-36F weather?

EazyD · 02-04-2011, 04:01 PM

Is cold weather better or worse for summer tires as far as tread wear? (or no different)

(Don't kill me if I am wrong) But I don't think it matters?

i suppose it's 'better' because it's brittle...but not good.

I have winter wheels for the car already but I'm wondering if I should bother to change out the wheels right there before heading out. I have to put in spacers as well.

Mine's garaged for the winter---want to keep it and me in one piece. Be careful, Z's are not really winter cars.
