well i drove two winters on stock summer tiers, i dont recommend it but if you dont have a choice but to drive here are few pointers.
Dont drive faster than 40mph in wet conditions around 35-40F you will hydroplane guaranteed even at those speeds, dont go faster than 60mph on highway at or below freezing temp on clear road cuz at around 85 mph you tiers will start bouncing and the whole car shakes crazy, dont accelerate or decelerate fast give ur self distance between cars cuz ur breaking on basically plastic hard tiers is greatly reduced do not drive in snow what so ever even if its 2mm of snow, it will move but not sure if it will stop and last is DO NOT TURN OFFF VDC.

Like others have said, if there is any ice or snow you're not going anywhere and it's very dangerous. On dry, cold pavement you just have to realize the performance degradation and adjust your driving style accordingly. Slow down and increase following distance same as if it was inclement weather on normal tires.

I sometimes on cold days, 40-50 degrees F, get the flat spot on my tires starting off but after a while they smooth out. I'm getting all weather tires when these damn originals finally wear out. Driving in the rain in these is downright scary. As old as they are now, 4+ years, I'm surprised they aren't falling apart. I drive like an old man so they should last till they dry rot on the sidewalls (what usually happens to all my tires), haha. Last edited by Fountainhead; 01-10-2014 at 12:53 PM. |
