but get rid of your stock tire ASAP before you wrap your beautiful ride around a pole
You are right, I just figured for that kind of money we would get a decent tire. I know that GM recommends them down to 40°, I wouldn't take them under 60°. These tires are extremely dangerous under those temps. Unfortunately, I have a bad feeling there will be some serious accidents over these tires. I think GM should have expressed this stronger than they did. Thanks for the link, I will definitely check it out. These tires are definitely not for cold weather. It was slick as ice, and it was only 55°. Be careful people.
