Damn!! It did it again!!!

Those numbers are -10 C and 14 F. It takes the "degree" symbol and makes it
a zero when it converts to text.

What?

I don't have the original post that I cut-n-paste that text from the Tire
Rack site, but here it is again:

+++++

ADVAN Neova must be used and stored at temperatures above -100 Celsius (140
Fahrenheit) to maintain its performance and avoid tire damage.

+++++

Looks like an extra zero go in there somewhere.

"Yokohama's care instructions specify that due to its compound  
characteristics, ADVAN Neova must be used and stored at temperatures above
-100  Celsius 
(140 Fahrenheit) to maintain its performance and avoid tire  damage."


Since this info came from another source and wasn't written  by one of us, I

guess I can question it without riling anyone.  But  Huh???  "-100 Celsius"
is 
nowhere near +140 F.  It's more like  -148 F, and if they meant "+100 
Celsius" that's +212 F, the boiling point  of plain H20.   So neither of the
possible 
Celsius numbers could be  correct.  

And even if we give up on the Celsius stuff and stick  with a +140 F 
storage/use temperature is correct, at +140 F, I'd still have to  pass
because I don't 
have a sauna and my oven isn't big enough  ;-)
 
Something must've gotten lost in Yokohama's translation,  methinks.
