THis is true.

The bottom line to me on this whole subject is this. A soft gumy tire is going to stick better. It aolso going to leave ruber all over the street or track, because it's softer. The grippiest tires in general, have horrible tread life. A rock hard tire will work great in the snow and rainnn but won't exactly be turning stellar track times. That rockhard compound wil make them last.

A rock hard tire will be horrible in the snow and rain. It would be like trying to walk on snow with plastic soled shoes. No traction at all. Softer compounds with plenty of siping for snow and ice.

Harder / softer. I just know that my Summer tires don't like temps into the 40's. Which means my next set will most likely be All Seasons. Not really fond of a tires that don't like cold mornings. What good is Performance if it only happens at sunny and 70.
