[QUOTE="DavidWG, post: 116214, member: 3145"] No question the OEM tires lose traction once the ambient temperature drops below about 15C and get progressively worse the colder it gets. That is a known function of all high performance summer tires. Everything you see written about that class of tires cautions owners about their cold temperature performance even the manual talks about it. I drive one with an M7 transmission and you can give yourself a good jolt of adrenalin if you do a quick aggressive shift from 1st to 2nd on those cool mornings when you first start out. I find the tires reach a comfortable operating temperature after about 10 minutes of spritely driving but I would not recommend any heroics on highway ramps or sharp turns if the ambient temperature is below 10C even if the tires have had a warm up drive. Even at Spring Mountain in 90F weather they get you to do a warm up lap or two if the car has not been running the track for the past hour or so. One could always put on all season performance tires to broaden the temperature range a bit. [/QUOTE]
