Anyone know where I can find some type of documentation that is legit, I've been going through hell lately trying to find some type of information relevant to saying the OEM Evolution tires.. which are the Yokohama Advan A046 is not meant to be driven in temperatures around 40 degrees or below or else they get hard instead of soft thus losing traction especially in wet conditions.

Thanks

 

Look at the information provided for the tire on TireRacks web site. N/A for snow and very low rating for wet weather. Very typical for a ultra high performance tire.

 

it's not real official, but there's also the sticker on the driver's door that in general terms says that...

 

Why don't you just call Yokohama Tire?

I searched all over the Yoko website (http://www.yokohamatire.com/default.asp) and can't find anything, except a contact form, which maybe you could use to ask them specifically if they have documentation or simply call them, as ^ suggested

BTW, the door sticker (as I'm sure you know) says: "The original equipment tires provide enhanced braking and cornering performance. MMC recommends that you use Winter Tires during winter. The original equipment tiers will wear more rapidly than tires used on ordinary vehicles. Please refer to owner's manual for details. " but I guess nothing about specifically hardening up in cold or wet weather traction.

Clearly I'm not busy at work today

Look up the stock tire and that is what they say...

 

look in the manual, I believe there is some info in there.

 

Mine seem to handle just fine in wet weather here. But it hasn't been <40 and wet at the same time either..
