Are you running full race rubber or supermoto slicks? In my experience supermoto tires take like half a lap to get to temperature. Problem is they shred on a faster track in the heat. If you're going to be running in the cold and it's taking you that long to warm them up, it might be something you want to try.

My sumo is for sale if anyone is interested. Love it but I never ride it.

It was 41 or so for the first session....it was like riding on an oil slick the entire 20 min.

Took till the 3rd session, 3rd lap to even get leaned over good and feel them gripping/giving enough to know where I was....but once it got to 70 that cheese grater of a track flat tore em up

Dingle-balled them up like Super soft Charmin on a bears ass
