It is cold here in the DC area today. I run Drag radials on my Cobra and in the cold weather, they are no better than regular tires. I just blow them away. Also, . . My son has a modified factory supercharged 03 Cobra Mustang with the modern wide/low profile Goodyear F1 tires. They are OK in the summer, but in the cold, he also just blows them away too. I believe that the Ferrari will have similar tires to my sons F1s. If the Ferrari runs in the cold like today, he will have terrible traction just like the Cobra. The only way his traction/launch control can offset the lack of traction is by cutting WAY back on the throttle.
