Do you see any issue with the road salt when driving in a good sunny day in winter when the road is absolutely dry?

 

The road may be dry but the salt is still there in dust form. The brine that is being used now is also very bad. Mine sits as soon as the roads are first salted for the season and doesn't venture out until all salt is off the road as much as possible in the spring. Zero rust....

 

Put the car on blocks in the garage after Halloween and bring it out (maybe) at Easter. Salt dust is everywhere!

I personally wouldn't. Mine is going into storage in 2 weeks at most... Not only is salt terrible but if you're running summer tires I wouldn't drive in cold temps with those.

 

Its your car. But...factually, the salt will be detrimental. I know you've seen clouds of it being thrown up by driving cars on a dry day. It looks like a fog. Then you realise its a cloud of salt dust. Sound familiar?

It gets everywhere, player.

Everywhere.

Obviously, its not as bad as mixing it with water and splashing it all over surfaces.

People prefer to expose/not expose their cars to different things. What's considered "bad" is for you to define.

I prefer to park mine before the first snow. I then weep like a baby for the 6-8 months of sadness. I take it back out when I know all the salt has been washed away by rain in the spring.

Its absolute stupidity, living in the Midwest.

Friend of mine drove his on the nice, dry, sunny days in Rochester during the winter. The rear quarters still rusted out after a few years.

 

When you roll your fenders...but refuse to do paint touch up...

 

True...but his weren't rolled.

 

the salt that you can see on the road surface on sunny dry days in the winter kicks up like dust and will settle like dust on your car.

Sooner or later the salt dust will get wet and corrosion will begin.

Also, any kind of performance tire will not perform well in the cold. That takes a lot of fun out of the drive.

I'm parking mine in a few weeks and will leave it until early May.
