[QUOTE="ANGREY, post: 16307536, member: 188865"] My smartass answer is to load up your truck with your most precious belongings, face toward the rising sun and turn right and keep driving until it doesn't get cold (dragging your GT350 in tow of course). On a serious note, there's no free lunch. Any set of tires that performs even halfway decently in Summer/dry conditions is going to do poorly in cold temps. There's just not a magical tire compound that can stay soft and grippy in Summer, wear for long periods of time and not firm up in even moderately cooler temps. This usually precipitates running a truly dedicated set of winter tires in the Winter, not driving the car at all or sucking it up on shitty roller skates for any max performance dry/Summer tire. IF, (and that's a big if) I were willing to live in cold climate, I'd try to scoop up a set of the OEM wheels off someone who's upgraded and slap a set of studded Winters on it and just swap wheels in the Winter. But before I did that I just wouldn't drive the car in it. Driving a GT350 in Winter conditions is like trying to wear a parka in Miami and wondering if there's any Winter weather clothing that keeps you cool in South Florida. [/QUOTE]
