They do until you light them on fire at Solo in Lovelock then the initial bite is a little less.

I wouldn't drive the yellows in the super cold unless you have a way to get some good heat into them. Not an ideal winter street pad at all.

Sofar, the yellows seem to do everything good. Not the best or worst in any one area, but I have street driven them with decent results, they work okay at autocross, they hold up really well after serious track abuse, then I heated them up to 1600 degrees and they didn't melt. Also, they are cheap as hell.

I took them out, and am now running the Porterfield R4-s, which, IMO, is the nicest feeling street/ Auto-x pad so far. I will be using these at auto x next season, but will switch to a dedicated track pad for track use. they are too pricey to burn up at the track.
