Re: Michelin Pilot Sports poor in cold weather?

It's a common problem for High performance tires. Once the road temperature gets below 7 degrees celsius the tires don't get warm enough. Winter tires have a different rubber mixture and will grip even if they are cold.

BTW, I have Conti SportContact II on my M3 and they have no grip at all on snow same as Pilot Sports.
