Re: SUN'S LAST RUN TO WILSON, WY - 991 C2S CAB LIFE, END OF AN ERA
4trac:Pilot:Sun must have a blast in his new time machine, especially driving on those empty roads! Just beautiful and perfect doing this in your new GT2 RS ! Thanks for sharing Watt.
Regarding low temperatures: I ruined my tires driving to Palm Springs once on a frosty morning. Lack of traction was not my concern, but I didn't think of compound cracking due to low outside air temperatures as pointed out by Michelin.
Those limitations should be unacceptable in performance cars with significant sales in northern latitudes where such temperatures are common in the shoulder seasons. Of course owners want to drive their cars for as long a season as possible. But - it seems to me these same owners are partly responsible since they are the ones pushing for ever faster Ring times, which have caused the push to these fast-but-fragile tires. I remember Leawood talking about using performance all seasons on one of his 911s, for long drives well away from summer heat when most 911s were in storage; maybe there is a market for such tires these days so that GT drivers could extend their season?
Central NV back to high 50's 9 am to 6 pm, still very cold at night -- that was a late winter storm that brought the daytime 38-45F, would've been better to run the RR up first....! If the GT2RS stays North, it'll park once days stay <40. Never drive at night not just for cold, but also Elk and Deer.
One could go to to a less aggressive tyre than Cup2 to extend one's [non-GT2RS] 911 season such as ______? Which all season, Leawood?
Even the RR will need winter tyres if it stays North, the Yeep is year round with Mud/Snows
