What temps are you saying is ideal for summer tires?
I'm originally from Texas so I'm no stranger to 90-100 degree swamp humidity weather but I abandoned that region, the semi-annual floodings, roaches, mosquitos, etc. Now I complain when it gets in the upper 70s  |
I grew up in Houston and have lived in other cities in TX. Family and lots of friends still there. I specifically moved to the Seattle area after having lived in various places (San Antonio, DC, Boston, Tampa, LA) to get out of the heat. We complained about the heat over July 4th when it hit 75 in the afternoon.
