Default Question about Nitto NT05R tires!

I have a set of 315/35 20 nitto nt05r tires for my 1000rwhp twin turbo z06.

at the beginning this tires has very good traction.

but after 200 miles of use, then I feel those tires has very bad grip.

I lower the boost and still keep spinning.

Any idea what is going on?

Thanks!

When was the last time you gave them a decent burnout?

Sounds like a silly question, but tires have heat cycles and require being brought up to temp to work at their maximum capacity which is why he is suggesting it. They will however degrade as time goes on.
