Why don’t summer tires work in the cold? Does their effectiveness decrease with temperature in a linear or step like way?
In: Physics
Winter tires stay soft and rubbery when it gets cold. Summer tires become hard like hockey pucks because they are made to work well and be sticky in warm weather, but that performance due to being nice and soft in ideal warm weather comes at a cost of hardening up when it’s below 50 degrees.
