Cold tires+hard driving= a new thread titled "crap"

damn haha, where do you live? i live in the DC area and my RE960AS never lost traction due to cold, and only barely lost traction twice due to rain. i drove it hard in the cold, and sometimes drove hard in the rain just to test them.

 

I had to use 2nd gear to start using WS-50 Blizzaks on the sheets of ice we got in the Midwest today....

 

haha, i didn't mention that i never drove in icy conditions. by cold weather, i meant cold wet or dry (not icy) weather

 

cold potenza. . hang it up

 

Perhaps the pavement has also gotten colder in the last few weeks

 

It's basically 1st to 2nd where this serious loss of tracion occurs. What I should have asked was what RPM do you usually shift at when leaving 1st gear?

 

It depends on if the tires/road are cold, wet, dusty, snowy, how old the tires are, etc.
