Evening all,

Having just bought my first Performance Pack car, are there any do's and don'ts with the Performance Pack tyres?

I live in Atlanta, GA, and it doesn't snow too often. But, when it bloody does, it can cause havoc on the roads.

For a daily driver, anything I need to be aware of, in relation to Performance Pack tyres in particular (Pack I, not Pack II)

Thanks in advance

PS: When I got home today, I noticed melted tyre in my garage. Almost as if the front right tyre melted a little. On the way home yesterday I had vibration in the steering wheel. Not when braking, merely driving. Hence the above question.

Thus far, 500 miles.

I only got my car on 9th June. And, I personally have only done 200 miles. It had 300 when I received it (driven from North Carolina somewhere, to GA)

Miles on those tires?

Yup, you drove through some tar and picked up some crud. Nothing a little burnout won't cure.

Back to the original question:

"Having just bought my first Performance Pack car, are there any do's and don'ts when it comes to the Performance Pack tyres?"

Thanks all

no, the MPS4S are great tires for anything not snow basically. if you get snow id recommend some basic wheels with snow tires to swap to.

:) Well don't shoot me but I had to ask. The safe & smart package has lane departure warning and it does it by vibrating the steering wheel if you change lanes without giving a turn signal. The level of vibration has a couple of settings but can also be turned off.
