You WILL notice a difference around 30*. Going around corners she wants to rotate a lot easier. I wouldn't dare drive it in the snow with the summer tires.

Especially after putting the LT's on, now it really wants to break free.

The stock tires suck, period. They have a high silicone content that make the traction suck. In this weather I can floor it at 60mph and light up the stock tires.

I bought my trickle charger today and installed it on the car, so not looking to good for bringing it out again, however i called my dealer today asking about my oil change situation and they advised me to change it before i store it. So i might bring it out next week when its close to 70 degrees

Rock-It Man · 11-04-2011, 09:37 PM

Tomorrow (Sat) I will drive around to warm up the engine, change the oil, add Sta-Bil, drive some more, and then it's time to go into hibernation with the battery tender.

Mine's ready for winter...got the Scorpions on and ready to go

techinny · 11-06-2011, 08:02 PM

Went for a cruise yesterday, filled up this morning, and put it to bed. Going to be a long winter.

TRC-SS · 11-06-2011, 08:04 PM

I took mine out today, and will tomorrow also!!!

phntmss · 11-09-2011, 12:34 AM

I'm not looking forward to storing my Camaro for the winter but it's going to have to happen. Recently had a oil change so I'll probably drive it a few more times before it hibernates for the winter.
Someone told me to put the car on jack stands or something like that to relief the suspension... Along with a good wash and stabil in the fuel system.

I'm confused too- It's going to be in the 60's here next week.
Makes no sense to put a new car away for 3-4 months imo.

Yup....i will put mine away for the winter when the snow starts to fly other than that im driving it.

Rock-It Man · 11-10-2011, 09:01 PM

Now that rain has washed away all the salt, I will have mine out this weekend.

Same thing happened last year. I did that "final" oil change, then drove another 2000 miles.
