Maybe the tarmac is softer...
wouldn't surprise me that they would change over a temp range. But then I can't imagine a mere 25 degrees Celsius could really affect them.

Why not? It is rubber after all.

I'm guessing but I think its a combo of the air temperature + the surface temperature of the (agreed) softer Tarmac both increasing the tyre rolling temperature which maybe leads to higher rolling resistance and that in itself is only adding to an increase in furthering the tyre temperature itself. Result... makes 'em softer (innits).

Slowest commute ride ever yesterday using them, but that was mostly due to the high amount of peeps riding very slowly on the 1st 1/4 of my journey out of Holborn heading to Silvertown and also me taking it really easy cos it was blummen hot (mum).
