There's more to a compound than a durometer rating, and durometer ratings aren't always consistent with what is printed on a sidewall. Also, different compounds (and durometers) respond differently at different temperatures, and right now of course it's cold and wet on the Shore.
Deniz and Tim have both played around a little bit with durometer and temperature and some of the results were unexpected.
