True that you gain HP in cold temperatures but a few things happen to the tyre that could rob of you performance:
1. You generally lose grip when it is cold, and this will also affect your speed. If you are an F-1 fan or into motor racing, I am sure you must have heard of bringing tyres to the right temperature.
2. You lose tyre pressure when it is cold and that in turn affects the speed of the vehicle due to reduction in the circumference of the tyre. If you pay close attention to your fuel economy you will notice the effect of the low tyre pressure.
3. The low tyre pressure also affects your inertia at start off which affect start off acceleration.
