I did'nt bother to get any winter tires, cause I have another car that I can drive for the winter .. Just wanted to know if if was a good idea to bring out the coupe now, since there is no snow on the roads and they seem to be clear

 

Don't under any circumstances drive the Coupe with the Pilot Sports on. They are dedicated summer tires and I can tell from my experience, as many others here can, that they are dangerous on ice and snow.[img]/w3timages/icons/frown.gif[/img]

what about if theres no ice or snow on the roads but alot of road salt... would the tires lose traction?

 

From what I've heard, when the temperature drops below freezing the summer tires will get hard and lose traction. Winter tires are made of a softer rubber compound partly to compensate from freezing.
