2018 Acura NSX Owners Manual - Cold or Rainy



Cold or Rainy

Weather Driving

Summer-only and Ultra High Performance (UHP) tires are very sensitive to ambient temperatures and are designed to be used at temperatures above 45°F (7°C). Below that temperature, Summer-only and UHP tires provide decreasing amounts of grip and other performance attributes. At temperatures below -4°F (-20°C), the tire treads may become brittle, resulting in permanent damage to the tread. A damaged tire may fail during use. Therefore, if you will operate the vehicle when temperatures are below 45°F (7°C), we recommend you install other tires (e.g., mud+snow, winter) designed to perform under the expected conditions.

WARNING
Use of Summer-only or Ultra High Performance tires at temperatures below 45°F (7°C) may lead to a loss of performance and control, which could result in a crash, serious injury or death.

Your NSX is equipped with ultra-high-performance summer-only tires that, due to their decreased tread depth, are at greater risk of hydroplaning on wet roads compared to regular tires. Exercise caution when driving on wet surfaces.
