Has anyone driven the stock CR tires in cold (like 10degree) weather?
How bad are they? Are they "you're gonna die" bad or just "take it real easy" bad?
I know it's a bad idea to go pick up the car tonight, just trying to figure out how bad of an idea.

In temps below 45 degrees, they are merely dangerous. If you drive on them in the cold, as if you were driving all-seasons on light snow, you'll be OK.
EDIT: after reading what I wrote, I realized I did not emphasize NEARLY enough how BAD these tires are on snow. They WILL GET YOU KILLED and I don't care how good you think you are or how short a distance you are driving in the snow. Just don't do it...

In snow they are COMPLETELY worthless. You might not even be able to get up enough momentum to do very much damage.

i drove 600 miles, 240 of which were in a snow/ice storm on the stock bridgestones. NOT something i would like to repeat though. i aired them down to 20 psi front and back, and that barely made a difference.
And you are telling everyone this to look studly or to "prove" it can be done? Either way, if it was the RE070s, you are either a lucky fool or Aryton Senna reborn.

Finished running the script to check how many CR's there are.
For MY08 there are a total of 668 CR's built.
Breakdown:
21 Apex Blue without
175 Apex Blue with A/C & Audio
10 Berlina Black without
249 Berlina Black with A/C & Audio
7 Grand Prix White without
75 Grand Prix White with A/C & Audio
20 Rio Yellow Pearl without
112 Rio Yellow Pearl with A/C & Audio
I have the breakdown for the rest of the MY08 S2000's, but I'll post that later in a new thread. FYI there were a total of 2591 valid MY08 VIN's.

Seems like one of the first few GP Whites w/ AC ?? Maybe?

Yeah I'm not planning on touching snow with them, just the cold.

the re070 when cold like to "thump" for a little. well, at least in my car they did. don't freak out if you hear/feel any vibration.
These flat spots never completely go away, but close enough for your butt dyno not to feel it. Eventually, you get these micro flat spots evenly distributed all over the tire... not that you can feel them...
