I'm the opposite, ever since I got the engine broken in its been unbelievably slippery here, even on Continental VikingContact winters. I'm itching for grip lol.

lol I've been lucky enough to have some grip but not much, still only up to around 10C during the day so can't push too much yet.

Still on OEM PS4S tires. Winter wheels have been delayed for almost 2 weeks now.

Looks awesome. Read that you were looking for silver or grey...funny thing- I have a silver one due to arrive in February and looking at your WR Blue has me second guessing my choice

Haha. Car looks great in person and the blue really started growing on me (took over someone else's order so couldn't pick the color). My last sports car was also blue (2019 Camaro SS 1LE) so I wanted to get something else but not complaining after seeing it in person

they are Dunlop winter Maxx. Since the car is still in break-in session I tried to be gentle with paddles. BTW it is a significant ride comfort upgrade from 18 to 16 tires.

Honestly I felt the rear end is moving a little too much now at highway speeds. With the OEM 18's that rear end just felt more planted on the highway. I dunno if it's the studs i have, or the 55 sidewall , maybe an offset difference? Just feels strange on the highway now. I honestly haven't put enough hours into driving this set of tires to give a proper comparison tho.

When I went from summer Goodyears to all season Michelin PSAS4s... worn out 300 treadwear tires to fresh 540 treadwear...

First time on the highway with the new tires, I had so much treadsquirm that I seriously thought they broke a swaybar endlink when installing the tires. The car felt that loose. I got home, jacked it up and checked every corner... everything was good.

New tires, especially something with more treadwear is going to have a break in period where they feel really squirmy and loose at highway speeds.
