    Hello all. I hate to make my first post a necro, but I really can't find good information anywhere else about streetable tires for high HP (or in my case high TQ) FWD applications. I sold my EP3 hatch and now have a '13 speed3 currently putting down 307whp 359tq, and even with a load limited by gear tune, it's rough to get traction well into 3rd as the temperatures drop.

    I see the NT-05 doesn't have the "useless under 40*F" comment attached, and that is what I'm primarily wondering. Do any of these tires remain pliable near freezing temperatures? I'm also stuck with 18" wheels for now, so the rigid sidewalls of 40 aspect ratios aren't going to do me any favors.

    Thanks for any input.

    (and on a side note, I plan to buy Michelin Pilot Super Sports for their all-around performance if I can't find the "compromise" tire I'm looking for)
