How are you finding your ZZ3's in this weather? My Goodyear NCT's are useless...

Glad to see I'm not the only one that's been skating. I was caught up in the madness of the Surrey stretch of the M25 on Tuesday night. 6 hours 2 junctions. The main problem was the wombles closed the road for an hour and all the standing water froze. I was almost expecting body damage at some point in time, but juuust made it through. At home for the rest of the week on management orders not to go out.

Im running mine at a lower PSI (22) on the backs to help give a little bit more grip...might be more of a placebo effect but Ive not seen the back step out as much...

That sucks. I'll never miss the northeastern snow... Although I suffer from sinus issues in Florida....I'd never move to a different type of climate.

-3 celcius is nothing, the coldest reading I have seen on my car so far was -36 celcius last year.

Unless you are driving on snow, keep the PSI to the recommended one for the tire.
You'll damage the tire if you keep them at 22psi for an extended period of time, especially when you park the car over night in cold temperatures.
Look for cracks in the sidewall.
