Summer Only tires and High Grip tires

 or Ultra High Performance (UHP) tires

 are 

very sensitive to ambient temperatures and are designed to be used at temperatures 
above 45°F (7°C). If the vehicle is operated with Summer Only tires or UHP tires at 
temperatures below 45°F (7°C), the tires will provide decreasing amounts of grip 
and other performance attributes. If the vehicle is operated with Summer Only tires 
or UHP tires at temperatures below 20°F (–7°C)

 or –4°F (–20°C)

, the tire tread 

may lose their elasticity and become brittle, resulting in permanent damage to the 
tread. A damaged tire may fail during use. Therefore, if you operate the vehicle 
when ambient temperatures are below 45°F (7°C), we recommend that you install 
other tires (e.g., mud+snow, winter) that are designed to provide appropriate 
performance attributes under the anticipated conditions.
