Tires
Hey all,
It's been a long time since tires were discussed. Are they going to be summer tires? I read somewhere that they might be putting all season on in cars that goto to winter states, any word on this? Are they still pirelli's?

Well its a tire thread, not to hijack, but don't the stock rubber look kind of narrow?

It's been a long time since they were discussed because we knew about it a long time ago. Not to sound mean, but there's a wiki here that has 99% of the information people are looking for.
Yes, they are summer tires, and yes, they still are Pirelli's.

the stock tires are 275 width tires, pretty wide actually but look thinner due to the 20 inch rims.

All season tires are summer tires.
Don't confuse them with all terrain etc. It's a coupe so you ship coupe tires... it's not gonna have General Grabber AT2's with metal spikes lol or drag strip slicks. |

all season tires are not summer tires...they are made of diffent materials and react totally different when the weather turns cold. Summer tires grip great is the summer (duh), but they harden up when the weather turns cold. Its like riding on slicks...that is why there are all season tires...

Summer tires are summer tires. All season are 3 season, not recommended for extreme cold or places with lots of snow. Winter tires are . . . winter tires.

Thats totally wrong. Summer tires are recomended only when it's not cold and are for wet/dry. They are absolutly shitty on cold roads and snow!
