OP> I'm not going to preach tires to you (see below if you care to). I am just glad you are okay.
To all the summer tire = summer only crowd.
Hypothetical question time: If a dealer sells you a Camaro w/ Summer only tires on the car, and they sold it to you in a season other than summer (spring, fall, or WINTER), then wouldn't the dealership be liable, They shouldn't sell you (supposedly) illegal tires for your car.
How are you to know that OEM tires are "illegal" to drive on except June 21-Sep 22nd (Summer Solstice dates for 2009/2010) especially if they not only allowed you to test drive the car in this "unsafe" condition before or after that time frame, but also allowed you to drive off the lot with those tires.
I realize that ignorance of the law isn't a defense. but When a reputable company (especially one with as many governmental ties as GM currently has) sells you a product that is being mass produced, you are well within your rights to expect they aren't providing you with an illegal operating vehicle.
They actually go through certain procedures to ensure you are legal before you test drive or drive off the lot, Proof of DL and Insurance is required. For legality issues..
So if OEM Summer only tires are "illegal" during non summer days...then I contend that GM would be required by law to not allow you to drive off the lot with illegal equipment.
