Nitto DR's. Do they work when cold? Will the Nitto DR's help with launching w/o heating them up?
There are times when doing a burn isn't practical, and I would like to get more traction then my stock tires allow. It seems that since they are wider, softer and with fewer voids that they would.

Thanks for the info guys. Yeah, I meant w/o doing a burnout rather then the air temp.
And man, you are right about cold air temps ruining traction. I have a mild stall by most standards, fuddle 3000, but even with that forget about a good launch out of the hole. And I have 2.73 gears!!

nittos work great when it warm and the roads are warm but as soon as it gets cold it seems like them slip more then stock f1s haha
now if you wana tire that hooks nomatter what get the MT ET street radial...these tires hook even when it cold
im not talkin dropin the clutch at 4k on the street hookin but punchin it in first gear and not spinnin even with 390 ftlbs of tq and 411 gears and the most you get is a small cheap 1-2

ive always heard that nittos needed a gooood burnout to get them to work. i spin them at 5500 for a good 6-7 sec. before releasing the brake. the apst few weekends here in AL its been in the 40's and ive been cutting 1.80 60's in my t/a mods in sig. tires have 17psi cold in them.
