I'll be gettin 17" steelies and winter tires for sure. Once the OEM 18" tires are done, I'm not sure what to put on there for the other 3 seasons. Never really dealt with performance tires before.

Yes, winter in FL or AZ is fake winter.

southern CA is also fake winter.

We pay extra for perfect weather, year round. Everyday is a great cruise day.

You think thats bad.

People in hawaii freak the fuck out when the temps go below 60F in the winter. People be bundling up with sweaters and turning the heater on in the car and shit.

I couldn't do their summers.

I don't even know how I do it. I'm looking at an average of 110°F for the next 7 days...

Wow.

They should come here in January when it's -20 to -30....

The PP Pzeros are a summer tire, so in cool/cold weather they do take forever to heat up and don't grip well at all. But in warm weather like we're having now, the grip is incredible.[/QUOTE}

Probably off topic for this thread but will the 16 Mustang have the Pirelli tires or will Ford go with an all season? Been a lot of negative comments about their poor performance in cold weather.

If I recall, the Pirellis come on the performance package only, or as an option?

So then, you're leaving soon? You do realize SoCal was nothing but a semi-arid desert until the white man decided to forcibly change the climate-right? This current dry spell is gonna turn into a full blown drought one of these days. The price to be paid for having a never-ending supply of fresh, cold water, is putting up with 6 months per year of crap on the ground and dirty, rusting cars.

The performance package gets summer only tires, and the others get All season performance tires, but I believe they're all Pirellis (Pzero vs Pzero Nero A/S). The All seasons are a decent compromise.

Wow, that's nuts. I get irritated when it gets above 80 here. I'm thinking about running premium gas for a while due to all that low 80s heat.

Sounds like a fake summer

And at least Phoenix has low humidity! Hot as hell, but not humid, which is a whole different level of hot
