- Brian Uchida Laguna Seca, corkscrew, (drying track off in rental car prior to Superbike test session), at speed - turn 9 big Willow Springs racing a motorcycle,- at greater speed (but riding shotgun) - The Carrousel at Sears Point in a 1981 PA9 Osella 2 litre FIA racer with Eddie Lawson at the wheel! (apologies for not being brief!)
- Mister It wasn't helped any by the horrible fuel economy for what it was... something like 22mpg city, iirc.
- Lorenzo I shop for all-season tires that have good wet and dry pavement grip and use them year-round. Nothing works on black ice, and I stopped driving in snow long ago - I'll wait until the streets and highways are plowed, when all-seasons are good enough. After all, I don't live in Canada or deep in the snow zone.
- FormerFF I’m in Atlanta. The summers go on in April and come off in October. I have a Cayman that stays on summer tires year round and gets driven on winter days when the temperature gets above 45 F and it’s dry, which is usually at least once a week.
- Kwik_Shift_Pro4X I've never driven anything that would justify having summer tires.

Hello all, Mind if I throw my two cents in ? Like all red blooded american males , I grew up lusting after a Corvette. But I grew up a jock and after school I had practice. In my time you could buy a brand new 63 split window coupe for under $5000.00 ! In 1968 it was up to about $5500.00 These are the years I wanted from 1963 (junior high) to 1972 (college). After that in my life, who had time for play cars ? With finding a good job, buying a house ,supporting a wife and kids, kids college bills etc. But, now its me time, and I want to see what I missed out on ! OMG a split window coupe needing work is $70,000.00 ! So , ok a C2 or a C3 can be had cheaper. Just make some adjustments and think it out. I am not so interested it the horsepower chase anymore and a softer ride now is not a bad thing, infact a few things like AC or a power seat is welcomed . I popped for a very nice midwestern 1981 Covette that spent its winters in the gargage. Its a sweet ride to me....and thats all that counts Enjoy the sun but dont forget the sunscreen. Peace be the journey.....Cool Runnings. -Polski-
