Default 2016 Tire Size?

Has anyone heard what the sizes of the new, 2016 AWD F-Type R Coupe tires are going to be? I'm already thinking ahead. Cecil...........

I seriously doubt they will be any different from the '14-'15 MY sizes on the various models.

I just reviewed the order on my 2016 R AWD - I ordered 20" wheels and the paperwork reflects:
Front tire size - 255/35
Rear tire size - 295/30

Default Cold weather

So, the p zeros can't be driven below 40F, yet my car has a heated steering wheel, heated seats, window defrosted and snow mode. There are no winter tires for the car; consider spending your money on other options to the car other than the climate package

They certainly can be driven below 40ºF, and I do it all the time. You just need to be more careful and smooth with your right foot.

Yeah...I drive my R coupe in temps in the 20's....traction isn't as good especially when cold and it rides harder but it's still drivable.....

The p-zeros on my MINI "can't be driven" under 50 degrees. I've got plenty of traction down to 20 degrees, just not as much. Just don't plan on flogging the car around below the freezing mark. I commute 18,000 miles/yr year round in the DC area on those tires.
