Re: Concerned about Continental Tires
I think it's the softer compound of the high performance tires that causes the problems. Harder compounds are hard anyway - regardless of air/ground temperatures. The soft compound is designed to be sticky within a certain temperature range. When the temperature starts to fall, that compound begins to freeze and stiffen up. This renders the tires ineffective.
I remain convinced that these tires will hold me out all winter. I've got my sand ready.
