The gen 5 F1s definitely felt like hockey pucks below 50 degrees until you got some heat in the tires. So far I haven't noticed this with the gen 6 F1s. And I have driven them multiple times in 30 and low 40 degree temps. I also haven't had any issues with traction or stopping on dry roads. But I also use common sense and avoid any form of spirited driving in cold temps.
