I live in the mountains in Southern California at about 6000' elevation. We get snow several times a year. In the summer, the temperature can get into the 90's and if I drive down the mountain to one of the nearby cities the temps can reach 105 degrees in the summer. As I have an AWD SUV as a daily driver, my plan is that my F Type will never leave my garage in the rain or snow. Winter days can be clear, bright and sunny and completely dry, but morning temperatures can be in the 40's. If I want to go for a joyride on one of those 40 degree but clear and dry days, are the P Zero's going to be a liability ?

I have the P Zeros on my SVR. It's garaged for the winter as I'm up in NE USA. Had it out a few times in the mid to low 30s on dry roads when I got caught on delayed flights and it was colder than I thought it would be. Pulling out of the parking lot the traction control was buzzing away every time I went around a corner at 5mph or on braking. Once I started driving and they warmed a bit they were ok. So I would do 40+ but I wouldn't do colder than that. The rubber compound hardens rapidly as they get colder and traction diminishes fast. Not worth the risk...

and check the tires air pressure frequently with the vehicle info screen. Everyone assumes 32lbs but the F-Type is 37lbs minimum. Especially if you like to drive fast like me to keep my f-type happy. My ex f-type was a a vampire needing daily accelerations to 100mph running through her veins and the air pressure makes a big difference in the handling.
