Anyone planning on driving their Emira through winter?

[Blackthought_]

And just like that I woke up this morning in NJ and it was a chilly 45 degrees which reminded me winter is right around the corner. Around this time I often contemplate do I tuck away my fun car for the summer or do I put on all season tires and drive it like it’s meant to be driven?? Life is too short to not drive for several months! For those of us living in cold temperatures, what are you planning on doing this winter!?

Be careful running the Goodyears that cold! They really aren’t designed to run near freezing. You can easily get a shoulder crack and a catastrophic deflation.

Summer performance tires usually get pretty slick anyway below 45!

Didn’t have any issues with the Goodyears last winter. We don’t get much snow though. If I was driving in snow all the time I’d be on winters rather than all season.

That's a pic-of-the-month for me!

My Emira V6 1st Ed Auto is my daily driver. Once ambient in Belgium get below 7 centigrade average (45 F), Inget my winter tyres on. I have them stored at my dealer’s and they sit on a second set of slightly smaller rims. My car is dark verdant with cognac leather. The summer wheels are silver, those for winter are black. Looks pretty stealthy in winter. Drive the car as if it is your last day. Everyday. I’ve driven mine in the snow and the purchase the winter tyres provide is stunning.
