I guess these words are fairly equivalent to someone talking about power increase by a butt dyno estimate but I've noticed quite a bit more traction in the cold and or wet.
Nikon, thanks. Good to hear traction is ok, but not really interested in the traction capabilities but more if you get the frozen tread blocks that, when you first drive it, the tires scrape during hard turns (vibration in the wheel and a nice scrapping noise from the tire). Only does it during first few turns, at a lower speed, when the tire is cold (in below ~40 degree weather).

I haven't noticed what you described but I have long hill I drive up before any real turning…..perhaps the tires warm up enough?
