I need some advice. The weather just turned cold here in MD (mid 20's at night) and I am finding that the drag radials perform very poorly in the cold. I'm driving normally and finding that the tires just spin and spin. Should I put her to bed for the winter or are there solutions for my situation. Thanks for the help.

I am in the process of ordering rims and tires from thedealer. I work in D.C. and while in texas I realized on slightly damp patch of road the tires do break loose at 65mph. I am not gonna attempt winter on stockers. Damn you running drag radials?

I will be putting my stock wheels and tires back on mine soon. This is just in case I do drive it some this winter.
