You begin your riding career with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.
Wonder how the DRZ would do?

well then nvm on the warmers lol
The real problem is friction. Although asphalt/concrete has a higher friction coefficent when colder (not icy), rubber is the extreme opposite. Rubber acts more like plastic the colder it gets. The softer the compound the more pronounced it becomes as well. Thus why some street tires are better (for durability) on cold days than some race tires. Like bueller says, warmers won't do too much for you after the first lap. Talk to your tire vendor to help with your cold riding needs.

Race tires come in around 175*F IIRC. That is where they have the best grip and that is where they are soft. Cold race tires are like rocks when they are cold.
This is one of the big reasons race takeoffs don't make good street tires if you don't know what to expect out of them. They really never come up to temp on normal street riding and don't have good grip.

After seeing the weather I am wishing I would have now
Decided to take the kid to the museum instead i got my dosage of going fast in today chasing her around.
Almost 50 tomorrow! I'm taking my car tomorrow to have some fun. Anyone else coming tomorrow??
Unfortunately, I don't have much experience with those specific models. You might want to ask the vendors (or dealers) for those tires. Sorry!
Right. Plus snow tires aren't designed (mostly) to be ran on the asphalt. They were made to run on snow. So the softer rubber allows the tires to gain traction by mechanical grip and not so much by surface friction. Take those same puppies around some laps on an asphalt track and watch them disappear in front of your eyes.
