No Grip!

Is anyone else having the problem with the GY Eagle RSA tires where they get so cold that they will even spin on dry pavement? What would be a better treadwear for tires so I am not spinning all the time every winter?

I knew that, but would a softer tread do the same thing?

Bridgestone Blizzaks are very spongy, they work great in the snow, ice and cold, but handle like marshmellows on warm dry roads...

LOLThe snow tires might be different, but I will not take the chance, maybe in a year, still bad thoughts. LOLOk, now I understand why you do not want any Firestone/Bridgestone tire anymore.
