Is that all Michelins? I have the A/S 3+ on my car because I daily it, even in the winter. They seem to work really well on the street in all temps, but I hear it's not a good idea to track them since they will harden and lose grip in the colder temps. I was planning to get some of the Pilot Sport 4s eventually though.
Good idea. I feel like this is one of the few cases in which my stock 3:15 rear will help out some, since the aluminium should shed the heat faster...I think.Also, this time of year the rear end over heating should not be a big concern. In 95 deg heat my differential over temp light did come on between 10 and 15 mins of pretty hard driving. By the next track day I had wrapped the exhaust pipes with header wrap. I wrapped them from where the pipes start to separate to go around the diff. to the mounting hooks for the pipes. So far no more light.
They kind of have that reputation, even in their motorcycle tires. They are great tires but dangerous when they get low. That said on a street car it doesmt matter.
Damn thats such a great idea man!Also, this time of year the rear end over heating should not be a big concern.

Yes there's a lag between the time you press the button and when it goes into next gear, but the physical act of changing gears inside the transmission (which is what really matters) is much faster than any manual and keeps the power going vs. a clutch disengaging. Although to be fair, the no lift shift feature in the Copperhead PCMs allows for damn fast shifting without the loss of momentum since you never let go of the throttle.
