Cold Weather Warning
We discussed this last year, but just a reminder, the OE Pirellis (and many other high performance tires) noticeably lose their grip below 40 degrees, even on a dry road, especially before the tires are warmed up. I almost spun the car on a entrance ramp this morning. Not surprisingly, the colder the temperature, the more noticeable it is...it was 19 degrees here in NJ this morning.
