When I did my school back in March at Summit Point it was around 32 or below just about all weekend. I didn't have a gauge but it was snowing Sunday when we were finishing up and it snowed about 6 inches Sunday night so it was coooold. I ran some ancient Goodyears that came with the car and they had 0 grip but no sign of cracking.
My wife on the other hand said it wasn't all that cold because she burned one whole tank of gas out of the truck keeping the heater going. Oh well, I did promise her if she went along she wouldn't have to change a tire or get cold. Promise kept.
