Consumer Description

THE TIRES ON MY 2011 CHEVY CAMARO (AND OTHER MODELS) ARE PERELLI P-ZERO TIRES WHICH ARE "SUMMER" TIRES AS INDICATED BY THE MANUFACTURERS. THESE TIRES ARE NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEAR FREEZING TEMPS. THE AUTO MANUFACTURER FAILED TO INFORM ME THE TIRES (WHICH ARE STOCK) ARE ONLY RECOMMENDED FOR WARM WEATHER. I BELIEVE THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT INFORMED MOST CUSTOMERS OF THE SITUATION. MY RESEARCH INDICATES THESE TIRES EXHIBIT MORE PROBLEMS WITH HANDLING IN COLD TEMPS AS TIRE WEAR INCREASES. THE MANUFACTURER OF THE AUTO HAS INDICATED TO ME THAT THEIR ENGINEERS ARE CONFIDENT THESE TIRES ARE SAFE, BUT THE TIRE MANUFACTURER CONTINUES TO RECOMMEND AGAINST USING THESE TIRES IN NEAR FREEZING TEMPS. AS MOST OF THE CONTINENTAL USA IS EXPOSED TO NEAR FREEZING AND BELOW FREEZING TEMPS, I AM CONCERNED THESE TIRES WILL RESULT IN CRASHES WHICH COULD BE AVOIDED IF THE AUTO MANUFACTURER PROVIDED PROPER TIRES FOR OUR CLIMATE. THIS IS A PROBLEM WHICH MAY GO UNNOTICED AS MOST ACCIDENTS GO UN-INVESTIGATED OR AN INVESTIGATOR WILL NOT CONSIDER THE TEMPS WERE NEAR OR BELOW FREEZING AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. *TR
