I'm itching too but the Coopers have Awesome grip in the warmer months but hate weather below 5c.

So another week or so for me.

Well, I just switched back to the winter tires yesterday. The low morning temps had me a bit worried, plus looking back at last October, we already had snow this same time.....the car certainly drives differently with the winter shoes, but I love that she has a "different" look for the next few months. I am now ready for winter!!!

I switched back a couple weeks ago. The back end was breaking loose with the slightest bit of throttle pressure. Don't know how much driving I'll be doing this winter, but it's ready if I'm willing. LOL

I am shocked everyday that I see my boss drive up to work in his ZL1 with the goodyear Eagles......going to have a scary ride home one of these days

I must not be driving right, I have yet to get it to break loose in the mornings, almost don't believe there's an issue with the temps...

I did play in the Calaway parking lot on the weekend a bit (not very successfully)

Maybe his garage is quite a bit warmer than the outside temps. Mine is at 10-15 when its only 3-4 outside. By the time the temp on the car shows 3, I've been driving for 10 mins, and its been around 10 at the end of the day. Hope he doesn't get caught tho!!!

probably wait a couple of more weeks. temps still in the high teens during the day and high single digits over night.

A Zed would be my winter beater if I didn't already run a Cruze for that purpose.

I remember my dealer principal would have a white 4thgen Z/28 convertible for the summer then some beater off the used lot for the winter. I even saw him driving a Geo Metro.
