That said, they FEEL like the best street tire I've tried, but I just can't tell if they're actually faster than the Z2 (I have not driven on Rivals). On the Yokos, I've spun and coned more times in my first five events this year than I did all of last year. Also, the highest temperature we've seen for any of our events has been 55 degrees with most being 40-45, so a warmer day should help? I have to wait for the DC Pro and NY/NJ Tour to see where I'm at compared to the hotshoes.

Any suggestions for decent lug nuts? I'm putting my ARP wheel studs on next week and will probably need another spare set of lug nuts.
I am thinking that the Z2 have better cold weather grip compared to the yokohama.
but i personally couldn't give you a definite answer since i have not driven in conditions such as that
