Default Hmm.. Answer to RS4 summer tires at cold temps

I'm sure you guys have seen this video, but I just noticed today (when looking at it the 100th-time) that the outside temperature gauge says -2 C ..

And the tires seem to be holding up fine.

Default He was pretty much just going in a straight line on a city street

Let him take a tight bend at speed in those tires at -2C and see what happens. I've already done it in another car...it's not a good feeling.

BTW, the dashboard shots showed temperatures from -2 to +3.5C so who knows how cold it was when the footage on the street was shot.

Go ahead and give it a try. Keep in mind it is expensive to fix a wrecked RS4.
