Tyre for Cold Temperature
Has anyone got any recommendations for cold temps? I am going to be on a track that we are expecting -5 C ambient in the morning so I have to take my Trofeo's off.
Would the Yokohama AD08R work in these temps? Or is it going to be better off for me to just get a cheapo road tyre?

Are Michelin PSS's more tolerant? I didn't really seem so based on Tirerack / Michelin's website but it seems to reason that they'd handle it better than the Extreme category ...

Yea the PSS might be in between and perhaps the best bet. They do need a little heat to work, however, so you'll still need to manage your first laps out unlike the A/S. I own both the RE-11 and PSS, and my butt dyno says they work similarly when cool, ie 5 C. I've never tried the RE-11 really cold, though. I have tired the Hankooks around freezing, bad idea, while the PSS feel bad but not terrible.

Thanks Pete and ayao, I couldn't find too much information but found that the AD08R will work as long as it is above -10C or 14F, so have gone with that. Whilst the others says not design to work in freezing temp.
Ordered some in so will see how it turn out.
