Tire noise from the cold weather

Mt Tam I am · 01-15-2013, 09:52 AM

Thread Jack:
At what temperature do the summer tire begin to fail in winter.

What are the signs of failure as it gets colder or does it just happen all at once? e.g. at 40 degrees it makes a noise and at 35 degrees it slides like Fred Flintstone.

And can you keep some heat in tires in winter by continuos movement?

Thanks. It did. It has been below this lately so may explain strange hop with sound I am unfamiliar with.

Up until a few days ago, I had very little scrub noise from my original equipment tires. We had a cold snap (~28F outside, ~50F in garage) and I guess my tires have worn/aged enough that the treads are less flexible. Backing from the driveway onto the street now sounds like I'm driving over crushed glass or have a wheel bearing that is shot. I'm glad I only have to put up with it for a few days.

I think it would help if the google search bar was on that main page instead of under the advanced search. It always seems to return better results. Just my .02.
