I know that the 1LE, ZL1 and likely the Z28 were not shipped during Winter. A couple years ago I was going to order a 1LE and they could not be built during the Winter. If I remember they started taking orders in March. They stop production so that the cars are not being moved in extreme cold weather.. When these cars came out in 2012, shortly after the Chevy dealer here stored these cars outside. They only did it one Winter. They bought new tires for their new cars. They are now stored inside. I think most dealers that experience real cold temps do the same. No dealer wants to pay to reshod a new car with these tires.

I bought mine in November and had to pick it up in Northern Utah temps were 40 degrees. I got it to my purchasing dealer and it stayed inside until there was a fluke day above 40 degrees. I got it to my tire shop and pulled the GY's off and put the BFG Comp 2's on it and it is currently waiting for Spring. Sucks buying new tires for a new car, but I knew the cold weather tire issue when I bought it.

If this is a daily driver for some, I am not sure why anyone would daily drive the GY tires. They are so slippery when it is real cold I am not sure why anyone would take the chance on piling up their car and putting others at risk. Saying your dog has to go to the kennel or no one was on the road is ridiculous. Would you drive drunk with the same excuses? If you can buy a car this expensive, you can buy a set of tires, they don't last that long anyway. Guys are buying the BFG's at $850 a set.

Giving up some race track performance for dependable all season performance, especially if it is a DD seems like a very reasonable compromise.
