Doh! If you look on the door sticker, it'll say those tires aren't supposed to be used in under 40 degree weather! It's obviously dangerous, but it's probably hard on the tires to be used when cold and therefore more firm. Be careful...

Well, I have the big 20 inch BFG KDW2's and I have no problem hooking up at all. But then again, I live in California where the sun ALWAYS Shines .... except when it rains and the mud slides down, but that is another post.......
