Snow & Wet setting plus below 40 degree temps and Summer tires
MY ride is a 15 GT, 5.0, MT6, PP with OE rear.tires 275x40x19 Summer Tires. Previous GT rides wore Michelin Sport AS2 tires to help with Winter driving. I'm trying to hold off spending the $ to put the Michelin AS3 on all around this coming winter. The car is used year around except in snow.
If you have the same equipped car and live in the colder states and have gone thru a Winter, would appreciate you feedback in reference to daily driving in temps below 40 degrees maybe rain and also using the Wet and Snow setting.
Also, Michelin puts out the same tire in the 285x40x19 size for the rear with the 255x40x19 size up front. If you have gone to the larger rear size would be interested in your comments for Winter time driving

Summer tires turn into hockey pucks under 40 deg. I drive mine till mid-November, and I usually garage it when we consistently dip into the 30s. I can spin in 3rd gear with just moderate throttle apply. Off the line I have to be cautious. And it starts getting more pushy in cornering too. So easy on the steering, and throttle inputs is a must. Kills the fun of the car if you have to drive it like that.
