    Are you like me ?, I drive my Challenger all year long.
    Even in the winter,
    Here in Canada I use winter tires and found that because of the
    rear wheel drive I had to add some weight in the trunk or it would
    fish tail in the snow.
    Anyone else here driving their Challengers in the winter ??
    Cheers. Happy New Year!

    I drive in the winter too. But not every day.
    If the car sits a couple of weeks without driving it I can feel the tires have like flat spots from sitting, though they go away after some driving. Must be those Pirrelle all seasons..

    I have a few cars at my disposal and my srt has 4,000 miles on the clock and it sits all the time , the trick is to air the tires up tight and believe me no flat spots.

    Mine (not Pirelli's) do what yours do despite not losing any pressure.

    My Challenger is just a pleasure car. I drive it in the winter when the roads are clear of ice, snow and salt.

    my so called pleasure cars are not uncovered until April and they all get waxed and serviced with liquid gold "mobil 1" then a clear plastic cover goes on them to keep the dust off .

    Probably have more value too. How far up North are you? If I go any further North I'll be in Canada.
