This may be my issue on my Z06.
M/T SR fronts, 6 X26.
Hoosier 315/30R18 rears. They are actually 25.5 in. tall.
Try and heat the tires up and it sits there and spits/blubbers away.
It will also drop power on the 1 to 2nd gear change.
1 good run out of 7, 6 are throw always.
I did notice an Active Handling message near the speedo at the end of a run.
It never acted this way with the stock tire set up.
I'm stumped.

Thanks so much for the reply Bill.
Unfortunately no one makes a shorter 18 in. front skinnie that I'm aware of.
There are a few options for the rears though.
Thanks again.
