I'm doing some riding during this cold season, even commuting (Denver area). In the morning the air temps are in the 30s and road temp sub-freezing and not quite that cold heading home. I've had a couple instances where the traction control kicked in when being a bit exuberant on the throttle that wouldn't happen when warmer. I run 41-42 PSI when it's warm. I'm wondering if traction would be improved if I ran 38-39 PSI while it's colder. My thinking; the tire & tread would be a little more flexible and a slightly larger contact patch with the cold rubber which I don't believe is getting near summer operating temps. BTW, the concern for traction isn't for acceleration but cornering & stopping.
Your thought?
Thanks.
