Tire Traction

The Goodyear F1 tires seem to be EXTREMELY sensitive to temperature. I have noticed traction trouble when either the pavement temp or the tire temp is low. Tire hookup doesn't seem to be predictable in the first 2 gears.

Anyone usilng ET Steet radials for everyday use?

The F1's hook great for me! Cold weather doesn't seem to effect mine that bad. Just a little spinning to warm them up a little bit works wonders.

1.76 60 foot and 11.40's in the 1/4 with stock tires, stock suspension, stock gears, and stock exhaust.
