Default Cooler weather traction

This morning leaving work around 9AM it was 65 degrees, sunny and dry. I was waiting for a break in traffic and got a hole and came down a little to get into the flow of traffic. First gear lost traction so I backed off the gas, went to second and lost traction again. A few months ago I installed a Magnacharger TVS 1900 (570RWHP/545RWTQ) and upgraded my tires to PS2 (345 rears). I have about 2K miles on the PS2's now.

Obviously I need to take it easy taken off. I am wondering if I need to change my tires when I wear out the PS2's or is this just a matter of to much power for tires to handle on the cooler roads.

A couple of weeks ago I spun out on Langley Speedway, it was 70 degrees at the time.

I am wondering how hard it is going to be getting traction when it gets cold.
