Any advice for a late Feb ED?
Going to ED an M5 on 2-28 and will be in western Europe (France, Lux, Germany) for the week.
Past years its been 42-45F or so. Should I risk using the Michelin PS3 summer tires? Or should I not even bother and turn the car in right away and take trains/taxis etc. Last edited by DesertEagle50; 11-20-2012 at 09:38 PM.

I'd rent winter rubber for under 300 euro and enjoy your new ride. I've done several winter ED's, including a great romp in Scotland, and in some ways preferred the winter trips.
Taking the DE .50 with you is not advised  Dick

Rent the winter tires, unless your plans are extremely flexible and you don't mind being stuck at one place for a few days or altering your plans to avoid winter weather.
I went to do European Delivery in late April and it was still plenty cold. We ended up getting a few inches of snow in Berchtesgaden, and I was concerned for a few hours that we may be stranded at the Intercontinental   .An advantage also is that you'll have fresh rubber when your car is returned stateside, which offsets the cost somewhat.
