In my opinion it's a night and day difference between summer/winter rubber. (because tires lose pressure in the cold weather. 3-warm up tires enough to what is frozen, then inflate as much as possible to avoid shaping while parked in cold. Take into consideration that as your speed increases so does the lateral weight,so at higher speeds I KNOW the P Zero's would have took a longer distance to fully stop my car. Solutions: 1- Store vehicle in a warmer location if this is an option. this time the brake skid was reduced to 18ft!:bigthumbsup I got it up to 40KM/hr on the stock wheels and hit the brakes hard,we then measured the skid mark to 32ft.:nono:Ģ hrs later with the new winter rubber installed, I did the same test, on the same identical road at the same exact speed and hit the brakes at the same chalk mark we put down earlier.
I will be leaving my car for them to drive 'cold' again. Driving on winter tires all summer will result in poor handling as the soft rubber tires will be super squishy in the summer time heat, and they will wear out quickly, so that next winter they will not have the same 'bite' in the snow and ice. Pulling out of my garage in the morning it sounds like an old rocking chair for several miles. Also, the warmer the weather, the less sound is heard. There's a stretch of "new resurfaced" road where I live. Chrysler said they cannot authorize repair because they cannot hear the noise. I remember the temps had started to get pretty cold,not freezing cold,but in my opinion cold enough to effect the grip performance on these tires.Before I changed to the winter wheels I conducted my own test for comparision's sake. I love testing tires during shoulder seasons to give them the chance to fail at every opportunity. Hard snow, soft snow, slush, wet roots along with prime hardpack and moondust. I bought my Mustang 8 October of last year,I live in Toronto, Canada. Tires were installed on the test bike in early March and the weather has been anything and everything since. I also bought a set of 18" Yokohama "W Drive" dediciated snow tires
