Cooler weather and miss tires (spin city)
With the colder temps comes more HP/TQ and tires are not as sticky, boy this makes for some fun rolling burnouts. In the Summer 1st and 2nd would roll the smoke, now 1st, 2nd and 3rd will.(TC off) Don't feel as comfortable pushing it around the corners though...Anyone else experience this?

You are right. With the power this car makes in warm weather, I really have questions about getting "aggressive" now that things have cooled a bit ( in So Cal ) so cool is a relative thing. Best to keep our wits about us when jumping on the loud pedal.

Gm and the tire manufacturers should offer a better all around tire for these cars. The cup tires on the z07 package as well as the base package Michellens are down right dangerous except on a hot dry day.
I always thought the gator back good years on the 90 and 91 zr1's was one of the best all around tires. My c4 Zr-1 did well in rain and all be it these cars were only in the 375 to 400 hp range they hooked well in cold and hot weather and do a reasonable job even light snow. I wish this tire was available for my c6z.
While these tires may not be the best for magaZine track time bragging rights they would be the best compound and tread pattern for 95 percent of us with these cars.
