[QUOTE="Discount Tire, post: 7399214, member: 64658"] Actually, you should not run your drag radials in the winter. When temperatures from below freezing the compounds in Drag Radials and RT track tires harden dramatically as mentioned above. This hardening can and will cause the tires side wall to crack and split. Nitto put out a warning in 2005 about this and will not warranty any Drag Radial that develops these cracks. Drag Radial and RT tires should be kept in a place where temperatures don't drop below freezing and air pressure in these tires should be dropped to half. My recommendation is to purchase an inexpensive all season or a winter tire for the cold months if you are on a budget. An All season may be sufficient for those that live in warmer areas and don't get snow in the winter and temperatures don't drop below freezing. A winter tire is best for areas that do drop below freezing. Rubber compounds in winter tires are engineered to stay soft at freezing and below freezing temperatures. [/QUOTE]
