Holy F these Pirellis!

Was "cold" yesterday (7'c) and raining... had wheel slip backing out of the driveway and the rear let out a tiny bit the start (and I'm grandma-ing it...)

Tried to "warm" up the tires but it just felt unsteady (for a second I thought I had a flat)... put it into wet&snow mode again and it seemed to ease out. If I had spare cash, those wheels would go today, but I got to wear them out before I can justify that... (fuel consumption seems less in W&S mode though )

In August That's winter temps for me back home in Texas.

We had 9C yesterday morning and nothing but rain :doh:

At my present location, we've been getting 43.3 C pretty regular with a low of 35 C at night. That's even way too hot for someone that grew up in Texas.

I was converting to celsius because this discussion IS in the Euro thread. And that's the temperature scale that Europe uses, where I am at now (Qatar), and where my family and car is at (Germany). If I was in the Texas thread where I'm from I would have said that it is 115 F during the days with lows of 95 F at night.

I guess you thought that this discussion was in the laboratory thread. ;)

Hey guys, I just returned from a petrolhead's true roadtrip through Alps - Grossglockner, Stelvio, Matterhorn, Mont Blanc. Here's a photo from Grossglockner and video from the other side of Stelvio Pass. I'll add another video later

I was planning on taking my wife on an alps road trip next summer. Picture looks amazing. I'll look at those locations a possible trip spots.

Lol - welcome to my life... I was in a t-shirt, but the car probably would've wanted to be with you in Texas

Be sure to go there early in the morning so you have empty roads to have fun on!
