Mine as well - year round. May tow it up behind the expedition to North Carolina next trip to enjoy some twisties; wife doesn't enjoy long rides in it.

I'm on my 2nd F-Type S and have driven both daily around the Washington, DC area and on weekends between DC and NH as long as there isn't any salt on the roads. Being from New England, I long ago learned that salt is the death of any piece of machinery and metal.

I think I had 30,000 miles on my 2015 and now have 18,000 miles on my 2016. I switched out the P-Zero's for Conti DWS's so that I can drive earlier and later into the seasons. Summer tires are not recommended during cool and cold weather. DWS tires ride and handle softer than P-Zero's. Both tires proved to be good in torrential rain at highway speeds with rear wheel drive. The rear P-Zero's wore out at 20,000 miles with only highway miles. Front tires last forever (want some 245/40-19 tires? :-)). Tires will wear out faster around town and in stop-and-go driving. So, you best be prepared to buy rear tires if you are a daily driver. I think that the pleasure is more than worth the expense.

I up-sized on both cars from 245/40-19 & 275/35-19 P-Zero's to 255/40-19 & 285/35-19 Conti's. Revolutions are about the same. Consequently, speedometer and computer stuff still function the same.
