My impression in autocross on hot days (33c/91f) is that I can feel more grip in later runs as I get more heat into the tires, although perhaps my experience should be taken with a grain of salt given that I was the second slowest twin out of about a dozen at regionals this year, the only slower car was a complete novice while I've done track and autocross casually for the last ~6 or 7 years.

i'll say i had a similar experience at mid-ohio. they had good consistent grip throughout a lapping session, my confidence in them only dropped after ambient temps got to 85+ and a lot of rubber went down from NASA racing in the afternoon of a sunny day.
