In Reply to: Do SO2 Pole Positions work better in warm weather? posted by NW on April 24, 2000 at 23:27:47:

Your are correct. Tires are designed to operate in an ideal temperature range, which for that type of maximum performance tire is in a warmer operating temp (say better above 50'F), where an all season compound is designed to not operate in a highest temp range like the S02, but will be better in temps (say down to 0'F), so as the ambient temps get warmer, the tires grip & feel better!

Hope this helps!

: I noticed that when it's colder, my tires seem less responsive, vague etc.

: When the weather is warmer like now, the tires are awesome.

: Am I imagining things?
