is there any risk to running Pzero summer tires in sub 32 degree weather? I put my summer wheels on last week end and the temps have follen to the 20's at night, will it hurt them at all to drive in cold weather? I know they get hard and I can feel it but do they risk any damage running them aggressively in the cold? don't think so but thought I would ask

The tires will be fine.
Just be careful because the P-Zeros suck in cold weather. They have great grip in warm weather, but they suck when the temperatures are cold.

I just put mine on yesterday. Silly me, it being spring and all I thought we would be done w/ this sub-30 degree BS.

Those tires get pretty hard in temps below 40 F. So, be careful.
