All I can say is Holy Sh*t, went out for a drive yesterday morning it was around 44 degrees here, wasn't driving aggressively at all. Got on it a little no more than usual in a straight line and broke the rear tires loose without trying. I had no idea these tires kumho ecsta xs were that sensitive to cold temperatures. All I could think of was those you-tube vids of people wrecking Cobras. All's well that ends well, lesson learned on the cheap.
