so this means every winter I have to take my ps4s shod rims off and put the car on blocks? Uh nope. Haven't had any problems with this on any summer tire I've driven on. Kind of sounds like a lawyer wrote this

Not usually but it's "supported" by them in my garage. If the roads are clear of salt I may take it out during the winter and give it a good warm up. It didn't self destruct or try to throw me in the bushes.

Sounds like an awesome first trip. The seats in these cars are obviously great. Good that it didn't have the standard Pirelli P Zeros which get really lairy in cold temperatures compared to the PS4S.

Yeah I wouldn't try that kind of weather with PS4S. AFAIK summer tires start losing their performance once temps go below 44 degrees. My PS4S tend to be ok on cold dry roads but I always run a set of Pirelli Sottozeros for the winters even if it never gets that snowy.

Ah, now I recognize your car from the pics thread. Exactly the same looks here, BRG black pack coupé with the 19" propellers for the winter. Mine are at the end of their life now, around 4 mm depth, so this is the last season with them. I've been pretty impressed by them... they've lasted long, have been nice and quiet all along and grip well for winter tires. Since this is the last season with them and it's dry and pretty warm out there I'm currently riding around with traction control off and doing burnouts and drifts much more than usual to get the last fun out of that rubber before I put my summer carbon blades on soon.

excellent!

I'm excited for spring to arrive and I can finally try some dynamic driving.

Got a trip to PA planned for our May long weekend, looking forward to tearing up some back roads!
