In that case I guess I'm glad I'm hoarding these 225's in the kitchen of my apartment, even though they were quite slow at solo nationals. I'm happy to be reporting that my 235-45-17's are still on my car in Mid December in Michigan, and despite the rears having zero tread at all, and are smoother than my Hoosier SM-7 race slicks, they are working just fine in sub 40 degree temps. Below 35 is a bit sketch, but a few hard stops and tail wags through the round-abouts put enough heat in the tires to keep them safe. Driving this morning to work in the rain probably wasn't that safe, but as long as there's no standing water/puddles, tire tread is over-rated. In the dry over 50 degrees the tires still feel great, and I really don't feel them losing grip due to being 'cycled out', like I did when I ran Rivals or ZII's deep after the wear bars. I kind of miss the crap-ass heat cycled tires with huge slip angles and such in these non-competition months, but I'll probably just put the prius-tires back on here pretty soon, as my rear RE71's have got to start showing chords any minute now.
