Cold tires
Based on everything we've learned on this site high HP cars are dangerous to drive aggressively in cold temps no matter what tires you are running

Well said Damon and David ....I'm not trying to be a downer but this is a subject we need to discuss. I know I drive way too fast.
A 25 year old man killed himself this weekend in Cincinnati in a Lotus Elise and I'm sure that high speed and cold tires were to blame. Investigators said the car went off the right side of the road and hit a tree and the impact tore the vehicle in half. It took several hours to remove the body.

We all have loved ones and those that depend on us .........I'll try to back off of the go fast pedal

I completely agree with everyone. When it gets cold here I never punch the car over 2500 rpm until the oil gets to about 150 and I never go over 3000 until I have driven about 10 miles, and hope by then that the tires are warm enough to grab the road around the curves.
