So what's too cold for these tires? 40? 45? 50?
You wrecked because the tires could not handle the conditions. That IS going too fast according to the law and is solely your fault, not to mention 5 over is speeding... Just saying.

Man up. Your wreck is not Goodyear's fault...

I drove 900 miles at or mostly below the speed limit in 40 degrees and rain. Not one time was the car out of control or dangerous even though the tire warning (from the manufacturer and GM) warned against this.
