BT015 Cold Weather Performance

What's the coldest these tires are rated to handle? Taking a trip up north and dont want any surprises!

I rode on a set down to about 34 F. I headed back home very carefully when it got icy. When it's wet or cold (38F or less) just be real smooth on the brakes and throttle.

I put 1100 miles on my K8 running BT015 tires in December 2007. From Halloween night until Jan 1 2008 I racked up a little over 2000 miles. Most of it was cold and wet, with a few nice days where it got up to 38 or 40 for the daytime high.

I've ridden at several times early and late in the season and occasionally on nicer days in the winter when temps were in the high 30's to low 40's and never had any big surprises. I wouldn't try dragging knee but..... Look closely at my avatar. See the snow???

How's this for wet and cold?

 

[EarlyBird]

30 to 40 degrees, but be very easy on the gas! They will spin if ham fisted on the gas!

Yep! That about sums it up for you there in WA in the winter.
