SC3s on a car in winter storage
My 2023 SS 1LE was built at the end of October and not sure when it will arrive. My current SS has the original GY F1 Runflats on it and I never cared whether those tires saw low temperatures during storage. Do I need to worry about the SC3s seeing cold temperatures, or is that just for R compound?

If you will be driving in the cold in winter SC3 are horrible in the cold. Get winter tires for winter and SC3 for the summer

Thanks for the response - no winter driving, just winter storage. I was not concerned with the old GY F1s seeing cold temps during storage. I don't want to ruin the new SC3s during winter storage.

Just put some extra air in them say about 40 psi. They will be fine. The problems with cracking are only if you drive with them in sub-freezing temps.

This, I have done this and no issues. I just put it away for the third winter. Over inflate, prevents flat spots, and just don't let the car move at all when below freezing. This Spring mine will be changed due to wear, not damage. Nothing to worry about! Tires will be fine. |

Is your storage space going to have any heat, or not? If there's no heat, at all, and basically subject to whatever the temps drop to, I would go with over inflation, also as stated the worse part of summer tires in cold temps is the flexing that occurs during driving is the real problem. Though I would worry about summer tires in the bare cold just sitting there. I swap wheels and tires each season and my summers stay in the garage where I have a little heat and it's generally 50 degrees at worst.

My garage is not heated and has seen temps below 10 degrees for days during the winters. No issues at all for several seasons now. Just don't MOVE the car when it is cold, it will be fine when overinflated. I actually go 10 over, so 42 psi
