Default First days of traction have arrived

Most know that until roads get warm .. hot tires still won't keep Z06 from letting loose..Temps in IL finally warmed the roads up last few days and had an actual few days of no rain. Easy to forget that when those big Michelin cup tires hook up it's magical..went up north and got on some twist backroads and had a blast...I think traction on a Z07 car should be bottled as an aphrodisiac.. lol

Are you running cup2s? They provide just about the worst street traction unless you give them a good beating to warm them up. The super sports are better at any temp. The as3+ probably also.

The cup 2s only get better than the other 2 on track.

I get damn near perfect street traction with AS3+ . Hard to believe. This is with a stock+halltech car.
