Both
The Spec pirelli tires are a hard endurance compound. So cold weather Plus cold track = no grip.

The other challenge was the pirelli tire techs told the teams to run no greater then 40 PSI HOT. The Hoosiers last were run at 30 PSI HOT.

Four years ago the Old Good Year G19s were run at 23-24 PSI HOT.

Dang I love those G19s, but are no longer made. Wonder how the Dunlaps compare to the Old G19s ?
