DR's in cold weather.
Finally got my 18X10 White bullits with 305/35 Nitto DR's this weekend!!!! Slapped them on, and man, they just don't have any traction, I mean my car only puts out 306/319, I would think a 305 DR, with BMR Upper/Lower CA's, and a Steeda Panhard bar, that my car should stick like nobodys business. What gives? The only thing I can think of is our 25ish degree weather. Am I correct????

RE: DR's in cold weather.
My 555 radials are like that. A lot of it has to do with what kind of pavement your'e on. For example, white top concrete makes me stick hard nearly all the time. On the other hand, I was getting on the interstate in like 50 degree weather (black top asphalt) and nearly lost it when tipping into 3rd gear. I have NEVER had trouble with traction in 3rd before that night and I still think there is a little stain in the shorts of the trucker whonearly wasted me. Wait until it warms.No rain, no burnouts no gravel. These tires have NO traction when wet, they burn faster than a bluntat theSource awards and they love topick up rocks and throw them in any direction imaginable.

RE: DR's in cold weather.
Drag Radials should never used on cold weather. They dont get to operation temperature during daily driving. I suggest you swap them out because you could have an accident because they dont stick. Your stopping distances increase greatly, just get a tire for winter and when it sping is finally here swap them back.
