Does your GS make more tire noise when it's cold out?

Usually it's about 75-80 degrees around here. Lately it's been 50-60s.
It seems like my tires are louder with this weather. Does anyone else notice this?

HA! don't tell me you're complaining about 50-60 degree weather...I'd do ANYTHING for it to be 60 here now


I think it's like 30 something here now

Tires are going to be quieter when it is warm or when they get warm from driving...

Yup, tires are harder and thus noisier when cold.
