Default 888s

Has anyone had experience running 888s on track at cooler temperatures? I know they have to be 70 odd C to reach operating temperature. Just wondered how likely it is to get them up to temperature when it's 4 - 5 degrees? It should be dry so wetness isn't an issue.
Thanks for your advice!

The forecast is looking good for Saturday.

I was going to come down but something has cropped up so cant make it.

I suppose youll also have to adjust the tyre pressure after a few laps, depending how much heat they get in them.
