Default Nankang AR-1 Cold Weather Performance?

Gents,

I have four days at VIR coming up next week. Temps are forecast to be in the mid-30s to high-40s Thursday for the Grand Course. Can anyone comment on the AR-1's performance at these temps?

Thanks much,

We found these tires like, and can deal with, higher temps.

They'll be a little edgy for a few laps until you can build some heat in them.

We found that the AR-1 runs 15-25° hotter than most other 100and 200tw track tires. They build a lot of heat and seem to be happy there. Trick for getting tires to work in the cold is to raise cold pressures a bit.
