Whose still Rollin' on summer tires

[Rogues Gambit]

Just asking since it's 32Ish day and 19-26 at night here in Dirty Jerzey and I still got my stock Pirelli's with 7k miles on them (also gotta check to see how long they last)

They're hard and coming out of turns from a stop is always fun xD but otherwise holding strong. I'm more concerned about snow and ice though, since it says next Sunday should be a rain/snow mix

Anyone else rolling on stock Summers?

Yup! I'm on the PP P-Zeros, but then again I live in Phoenix.

Right here from CA. Hardly putting any miles on her though.

Yep, snowed last night, hits 20s every night. I turn on snow/rain mode and just take it easy. I haven't had time to pick up winter/AS tires yet, but the P Zeros are holding up well enough.

Still on the summer tires and just taking it easy under 50 degree weather. These tires stink in the cold. As long as there is no snow or salt on the ground I do drive the car when I want to.

yup pzeros here - snow, 30s and 40s - slippery as all get out but haven't changed!

This is my 4th winter on the pirelli summers ... 2 winters on my 12 Brembo gt, 2 on my 15 PP gt. Been thru a couple of ice storms with no problems. Course, the winters in south Texas are not exactly what I would call harsh. Even still, I've had zero problems so far.

Looks like a lot of you will be buying new tires come spring.

Cali weather and don't drive a ton....still have mine.

I'd love to swap mine out for some nice sticky tires, but I recently bought a ton of mods for the car and adding tires right now would make me cringe really bad lol

Still ridin on mine. Just surpassed 500 miles today. Was in the low 30's here today too with some flurries. I don't plan on driving in bad weather, but so far I've had no issues in the cold. It sits in the garage all night, so that probably helps keep them a little warmer for cold mornings. Mainly hoping to get through the summer with the pirelli's then switch 'em out.

I don't know, as I said previously, I've not encountered any abnormal wear on mine. My 12 had 26k miles on them, which included about 20 passes down the drag strip. They lasted two full winters, daily driven, parked outside year round. When I sold the car, they had no visible sidewall wear and plenty of tread left. Maybe I was lucky.

I work in North Jersey. Went out to my car and saw the temp was 21F at 6PM. I'm really glad I swapped back to stock 17s w/all seasons. Can't imagine driving on summer tires now.

i've never had a car with anything other than summer tires.

I put my all seasons back on for a little while.

It's gotten a little cold here in Texas, and I noticed I just didn't have much traction on these tires. Plus, the Street Comps are temperamental, I don't have much grip until the tire gets heated up (even when it's hot outside). Which has led to a few times where my back end unexpectedly got out from under me.

Strangely enough, I have to really try hard to get my rear to slip on the A/S tires, even on skinnier tires and colder temps. (These are the P Zero Nero... well 1 tire is a P Zero Corsa because discount tire messed up)

At any rate, my next set of summer tires won't me MT Street Comps. They're cheap, but that's about all they have going for them.
