What are your feelings on low temperates and very soft tire compounds? Some soft compounds harden very significantly below 7deg Celsius. At freezing temperatures this becomes very noticeable. The older Schwalbe Vertstar tires were awful, the ADDIX Soft and Super soft are a lot less awful in the cold.
Maxxis even recommended the dual 60a compound for low temperatures because of this.
Continental Black Chili is said to be good in this regard.
Maxxis 3c Maxxterra works pretty well, but also gets harder and louder when cold. At least in my experience.
It'd be very interesting (and nerdy) to see a systematic test between different compounds and their behavior at cold temperature...
