Re: [ST] Lessons from the cold



At what temperature do tires start to lose grip?While I was out for a ride 
last week in 35 degree weather I lost the rear end going around a corner at 
about 40mph.I know I was nowhere near  the limits of the bike and had been 
riding for about 30 minutes so the tires should have been reasonably warm.The 
road was dry and I didn't see any oil or gravel.Is 35 degrees cold enough to 
cause that much of a loss in traction?
