Colder weather = stiffer ride?

Hey guys,
I'm currently running Toyo T1R's on 350z H-Techs and OEM shocks. As the weather lately has been getting colder (40s and 50s) I've also noticed my ride is a LOT stiffer. Does this have to do with my summer tires getting harder or my springs stiffening in cold weather?

Not really sure what is happening but I know it's not in my head. Sometimes the car rides so stiff it's actually uncomfortable to ride around in, every little bump in the rode feels literally like a pothole.

Anyone know what's going on?

T1R's are not that good period! PS2 are the best

You hit the nail on the head.And its a combo off springs/shocks and tires.

Awesome, thanks for the answer. Good to know my car isn't falling apart or anything.
