Once you are on the site click on the toolbox to the left to watch the vid. Should say track wrenching.

This should help you out great video

well tires get harder after they get heated up a bunch of times, so may just be that.
its getting later in the year too, cold roads mean cold tires.

yea they need to warm up to temp...but also know that race tires can't go through as many heat cycles as say the powers....so they are toast after so many heat cycles...that's why racers and trackers use tire warmers....to keep them to temp and to prevent so many heat cycles.
