Cold air pressures: 36psi front, and 39psi rear.
Morning temperature was -5 degree C.
First drive impressions: It feels as if the car sits on four Marshmallows! Since I bought the RFT version, I was expecting a stiffer ride. But it is really soft. I doubt its the sidewall. I think the soft thread is causing this effect.
Changing lanes on the highway needs a bit of a "get used to".
No issues with traction, drives OK on mild accelerations (I went easy since I know I can light them up quite easily with 300hp).
I need to tweek the air pressure. Not convinced I got it right for those tires.
Now the wait for the good stuff, snow, freezing rain, -30C weather, etc.
Will provide feedback after some real life experience in those conditions.

haha....I didn't get the runflats but the regular ones are soft for sure!! that being said.....I thought it drove great so far....will have to drive it much more to see how it really feels. I drove very 'gently' as well this far.
