Great article! I noticed that tyres can suffer even more from the cold than suspension. The softer compounds from Maxxis in particular don't like the cold at all, getting hard and brittle. That led to some "very interesting" situations on snowy roots and rocks. The Conti stuff seems better in that regard.
