Cancelled!!! Does anyone have cold weather experience with MT Street R's?

Nope, I was in the beginning stages of R&D and T&T and still in the 10's.
As explained about the the tires the rubber compound is not as elastic, do a burnout, they cool fast while setting up, then launching they don't roll out right and they shock the rear. Think of the shock you would feel if someone threw a snowball down your backside not going anywhere!

Thanks for the info, but my 1Bhp was aimed at Bowlerguy! He's sitting there with a monster and I have been waiting for him to come to the dragway and Land Speed Trials. It's great to have a fast car, but it's even better to document how fast it really is!!!

Regardless, he is a good guy! (Though I have never seen him bowl!)

Needs to warm up before it sees NED. Too cold. I’ve got too much into it now to wall it.

Up north here we have taken some impressive cars out in the cold weather. Damn the power difference is noticeable, violent and yes dangerous because the roads are cold. I have done some shit with winter and all season tires. It can be fun but you need to pay very close attention. Not worth it. I have had shit bust loose, I am lucky.

When I go actual is 80-90 and track surface temp is 120, 1,000,000% humidity

But that was 6 yrs. ago

The tire composition actually gets less elastic and more like plastic in cold temps. Generally, it is not recommended to drive them in temps 45 or less. Here’s something I found on the internet
Be warned: because the rubber compound on the drag radials is very sensitive to temperature changes, it's a double-edged sword. You'll enjoy better straight line traction when the air temps are above 60 degrees (F.). But if you decide to drive your car on a cold morning or a cold night, and the air temps are below 50 degrees, you'll find that the drag radials have worse traction than standard radial tires do. If you drive in 40 or 45 degree weather, even with the pavement dry, you step on the gas going into a turn, and find that they spin as though it was raining out.

Even just spirited street driving on a cool crisp spring night..low 50's...needs undivided attention...but it is kinda fun...

I hear he's an ambidextrous bowler
