Mods move to bench if it this fits there better please.

I have some goodyear eagle supercar summer tires. Do you guys think it's even worth trying to run the car if the temperature is under 50 degrees?

And please I don't need to hear any BS about why bother to go without drag radials. I'll get some NT05R next year but it's out of the question for now.

Probably not. Most of those high performance summer only or extreme performance tires get pretty hard when it's cold out. Of course, you could always try and do some burnouts to warm them up and hope you don't make them greasy in the process.

no M&Hs or MTs? it's the track.. it's okay if your car looks ugly out there.. still looks better than 99% of the other cars out there get some 15s..

Looks like 50 degrees and cloudy tomorrow. Guess it's worth a try. At least the DA should be around 4000'. Mineshaft air for up here.

I would kill for a DA under 7,000' let alone 4,000!

I use these as my daily driver tires. They are useless under 60 degrees. If you heat them up A LOT they should be ok.
