Temperature during the trip: low of 31'-high of 38'

Review:
Temperature at departure in Philly was 42', by the time I had reached NJ-it dropped to 37' and kept plummeting to around 32' where it stayed for most of the day.

Considering how people kept stating that summer tires don't perform or have any grip below 45'...I was quite surprised by the performance. These tires were a champ.

These tires encountered certain areas with 1-2 inches of snow with little or no issues. There was one moment when I was stuck backing into a driveway but as soon as I disabled DSC-playing with the throttle got me traction.

On the highway-I went upto 65mph during the storm with no drama. These tires had plenty of grip. Ideally-I would've had snow tires on the car but considering I had little time...these tires were put to the test.

I saw Cars/SUVs with All Season tires slipping whereas my car had no drama in the turns and small hills. These tires also hit a road with a significant section of ice yet no drama (speeds were around 10-15mph).

Count me pleasantly surprised at the Conti's.
