Forecast is showing 28 degrees at 12 and only making it to 36 later in the day. So am I crazy to worry about this ......

Subject: Information on Goodyear F1 Supercar G2 Tire Cold Weather Cracking

Models: 2012-2013 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1
2013 Chevrolet Camaro SS with RPO 1LE

Cold Weather Operation

The Camaro ZL1 and RPO 1LE vehicles come with 285/35ZR20 and/or 305/35ZR20 Goodyear F1 Supercar G2 D.O.T. approved ultra high performance, track capable summer tires as standard equipment.

Goodyear F1 Supercar Performance tires are a summer season tire and are not intended to be driven on snow, ice or road surfaces below -7°C (20°F).
If the ambient temperature in your location is at or below -7°C (20°F), DO NOT MOVE THIS VEHICLE. The rubber used in these tires loses flexibility and may develop surface cracks in the tire tread/shoulder area at colder temperatures. Driving the vehicle, when the temperature is below -7°C (20°F), may result in surface cracks in the tread area of the tire. Surface cracks are cosmetic and will not result in a loss of air.

Tire Surface Cracks



Special tread and compounds used on these performance tires will cause a decrease in performance in cold climates. Driving with ultra high performance summer tires on snow, ice or cold road surfaces may cause loss of control. Refer to the latest version of Corporate Bulletin Number 04-03-10-013: Driving Characteristics of Rear Wheel Drive Vehicles and Available Winter Tires for further information on available replacement winter tires for cold climate operation.
Tire Storage
It is recommended that Goodyear F1 Supercar G2 tires are stored indoors at temperatures above -7°C (20°F) when not in use. If the tires have been subjected to -7°C (20°F) or less, let them warm up in a heated space to at least 5°C (40°F) for 24 hours or more before being installed or driving a vehicle on which they are installed. Inflate the tires only after they have been warmed above 5°C (40°F). Do not place tires near heaters or heating devices used to warm the room where the tires are stored. Do not apply heat or blow heated air directly on the tires. Always inspect tires before use after being stored.

I have a few but they are all packed up. I will be able to make it, see you all there around noonish

I'm pretty sure my NT05 tires say not to be out below 40 degrees but I had no problems going to Texas and it was 23 degrees. With the sun out the roads will be warmer than the temps outside. Again you make the decision it's your car, hope you can make it though.

zfuzz, I'm also a little worried about this as my car isn't a daily driver. All we can hope is we don't have that problem and if we do that Goodyear and Chevrolet makes it right.

We enjoyed it as well, especially the last leg on Hwy 95 by ORNL and Y-12. Good job as always by Dan on planning everything. I think he had fun, too, with maybe the exception of that last run on Hwy 95 through the curves...

[zfuzz]

Brrrrrrrr I had a blast too, wished everyone could have taking Hwy 95 together that was fun fun fun, I tried not to push Austin to hard I did notice right before 95 that Bertha has learned to count the antennas on the back of suspicious looking cars

It was great to see some new Camaro's and their owners. Hope you guys get to hangout at some of our "warmer" adventures.

Did you guys notice one Camaro that was a no show and its owner was rumored to be off playing with a truck of all things. Say it aint so Superslo !

[Suprslo]

Ahh I wish I were there with you guys! I'm gone every weekend untill the end of March :(

[BDBiker]

Good to finally put faces with cars and avatars! Becky and I had a good time with you guys. I didn't know about the run down Hwy. 95 or I would have hung with you, especially since that is how I go home from Lenoir City. Cops occasionally hang out on 95, so it pays to be cautious!
