Cold Weather Driving
Summer Only tires are very sensitive to ambient temperatures and are designed to
be used at temperatures above 45°F (7°C). If the vehicle is operated with Summer
Only tires at temperatures below 45°F (7°C), the tires will provide decreasing
amounts of grip and other performance attributes. If you operate the vehicle when
ambient temperatures are below 45°F (7°C), we recommend that you install other
tires (e.g., mud+snow, winter) that are designed to provide appropriate
performance attributes under the anticipated conditions.
