Coldest temp for 15+ nismo tires?
 
I can't find any info about the tires online. Does anyone know the coldest temp I can drive with them in? It's only 39 and I don't want to end up in a ditch.

dose are summer tires right? 65-70F is like the coldest they can perform well. anything lower ull want to keep the vdc on and drive gently. it only takes a split second to initiate da fall into a ditch.

if u plan on driving on colder dry days, check out da continental DWS06. they actually perform quite well in cold temps. i run dem all yr on my GTI. and my GTI is a faking rocket.

Not looking to whip or anything, just want to visit me mum who lives ~25 minutes away.

yah, you'll be fine if normal driving in the dry. just take it easy and dont drive in snow.

bridgestone potenzas right? Like Ken said, they are summer tires. Your fine if theres no ice or snow, just dont drive like you stole it.

Precipitation is your enemy. Temps are just the annoying kid from next door.

Max summer tires 40* & up.....not even suppose to be exposed to freezing temp's,as this will cause premature cracking between tread...not good.

No BS,,,people still do it...some are better than others in the cold...Read & understanding of tire structure & compounds.
Lots of study & research has been already done on this...just ask google...or better yet. A "Senior"

Go to Tirerack.com & that is a valuable source...as many,many tires are purchased from them.
They are a reputable company; and have numerous tire test videos,Testimonies,etc.
Search your tires & see what has been tested on them,reviews,etc.
