If you think about it, rubber contracts and shrinks when it is colder...and if the road surface is cold to...

What is there to stick it?

Kinda like tape to a cold metal surface.

But also, the RE730's, although a decent performance tire, isn't known for it's *stickyness*. It's more of a high-wear, all-weather performance tire...which makes it's compound harder.

All I can say is, drive slower and more carefully.
