Cold summer tires, not a good combo, just be prepared for the unexpected till they warm up

How fast were you going? Are you running a modified suspension? What tires? What wheels?

i was test driving a new 05, it was cold out (below freezing) and the car was sliding all over the place, i had my gf in the car and she thought it was fun, but i was like uh i am not doing that on purpose... lol i was in no means driving fast, the tires just would not stick and there was a wierd shake going on so maybe they forgot to prep the car by removing spacers or something. anyways i took it back to the dealer and told them i would come back when it was warm...
