I find yoko's ok up to 55/60 F.  I sent separate post on yokos as well as
useful re-post of sound advice given to me by Bob Neidinger a year ago.
After that they get real, real soft.  OK if you swith tires in April and
are using them in cold climate (e.g., NYC to VT like I do, not San Diego to
Mammoth like Sargent (?)).

Also helps if you DO NOT go -1" on these as you don't need to for good
performance w/these tires.
