As the title says does anyone know if they ship 1LE’s in the winter? More specific zl1 1LE’s?

Why wouldnt they? They are not towing the trailer with them on it with a ZL1 1LE.

3R tires and temps below 40 degrees. Those are two reasons to question winter deliveries.

Sure if they were driving them down. You are aware they come on a transporter/semi trailer right...?

I’m fully aware of that. Are you familiar with 3R tires? My local dealer had a car with 3R tires throw the rubber off them in a 100 yard drive from the transport truck to their shop. 4 new tires fixed that.

Not suppose to store or move the tires in the cold due to them cracking. So still have to move the cars onto the transporter risking cracking the tires. Just didn’t know if anyone’s 1LE was delivered in winter in colder regions.

None of the tires are cracking. Where the hell did you hear that? Sure they are roller skates when it gets cold, but cracking? Seriously man fact check yourself.

You must live under a rock if you don’t know about 3R’s cracking in the cold.

Read for yourself:

Note:*Tires exposed to temperatures of 20 degrees F (-7 degrees C) or lower must be permitted to gradually return to temperatures of at least 40 degrees F (5 degrees C) for at least 24 hours before they are flexed in any manner, such as by adjusting inflation pressures, mounting them on wheels, or using them to support, roll or drive a vehicle.

Flexing of the specialized rubber compounds used in Extreme Performance Summer tires during cold-weather use can result in irreversible compound cracking. Compound cracking occurs as the result of improper use or storage, and Goodyear's warranty specifically excludes tires exhibiting this condition from coverage. Any tires exhibiting compound cracking must be replaced.

Are you still so sure of yourself, Mr. expert?

Lets see that proof rather than a copy pasta from a website. Your claims are wild if anything.
