Question for the guys with automatics

[2015VAStang]

while taking my car out for a spin this evening i was playing with it a little. i have a 2015 LE . My question is do your cars usually break traction shifting from first and from second to third. i had the car in sport+. the car is bone stock with summer tires. the temps were in the 40's. I'm assuming the spinning was coming from the cooler temps. thanks ahead of time for the input

Mine did not when I was stock, but does all the time with current mods.

It is definitely because of the summer tires in 40F. What tires? P Zeros?

275/40r19 and yes on the zero's
I thought myself that was a little aggressive for a stock tune thats why i was thinking it had to be the cold temps and summer tires

P Zeros explain it 100%. Traction on a quality summer tire will be significantly better even in the lower temps.

Does the auto also go to redline before shifting when in sport mode. My gauge cluster will turn red before the car bangs out the next gear. This is my first automatic mustang and just wonder if they do this also on stock tune?

Yes that is normal. Stock trans tune is pretty good and it will redline the car. Put an aftermarket tune on and it really shine though
