I'm slated to pick up a GT350 tomorrow and driving my trade-in up to do so. Temperatures are slated to be hovering around freezing - or slightly below - where I'm picking the car up and closer to 40F here at home, which entails about 125 miles of straight interstate driving on dry roads. The GT350 in question still has the PSS tires on them, with about 5K miles.
I've read numerous posts on this forum and others about the dangers of driving on these tires below 45F, and opinions seem to be anywhere from "It's fine" to "Doing so will make you end up in a fiery heap of death."
The dilemma for me is that NOT picking it up tomorrow will seriously delay my acquisition of the car (which is at a dealership) due to numerous work and family obligations over the next month or two. For the purposes of getting the car deal closed and getting it into my garage, is the interstate driving in dry conditions an OK risk to take here? I've thought about having the dealership bring the car inside for today, if they haven't already. Last I heard, it was being kept in their detail garage. But, I'm not sure this would help anything.
