Below 30F degrees, the stock Bridgestones on your sport will suffer from a hard tread, and your traction even on dry pavement will suck. If the Element has all-seasons, you would be better off in that.
A couple of weeks before I put snows on my Z, I experienced this first-hand coming out of a roundabout. All summer long, I've been nailing the throttle coming onto the straight after this circle. At 35F degrees, the back end came right around on me (easily caught) and overall the traction on the circle was perceptibly less good. That's without any snow at all. I would highly, highly recommend that you avoid driving the stock summer tires in snow! |
