look up JohnB at viper parts rack of america. he hooked me up with a brand new one. call him if you dont see it on their website, they dont list everything.
well, the requirements i listed above are for michelin pilots actually, so you are in the same boat as us continental folks, i looked up specs on both types. I remember doug demuro doing some snow drifting in his viper, does sound like fun!
I give them credit. they are providing tires to us with maximum traction so we don't end up in the ditch. The "all season" type of tire compound that can handle low ambient temperatures is full of compromise that would not meet our needs. Its limited by chemistry.
But I am pretty surprised its...
I got feedback from my engineering acquaintance in the tire industry. here is a summary:

So one option is to store the tires inside where they will stay warm and put the car on some cheap wheels...
I am about to install a yellow box on my 2001 GTS. There are instructions online, link below. I plan on doing a youtube how-to video when I do it but might be a little bit till I get around to it. there is a speed sensor near the output shaft of your transmission, it should have 3 wires coming...
thanks a lot for the pointers, I will dig into all them. I did find a used on online from a salvage yard but they want new prices so I of course prefer to find a new one.
I am looking for a Trailing Rear suspension link - part number 4763159AC , for my 2001 GTS. I have play side-to-side and not top-to-bottom on my rear passenger side wheel. it seems to be coming from the mid link in this trailing arm that is used to adjust toe in.
