Dont get me wrong. They dont feel great overall but they feel especially slippery/not planted when they're cold and pretty sticky/solid after about 30-40 mins of freeway driving. Just an observation.

Yea handling and grip has improved with the summer heat.

Yep, I've posted before that they are very poor in the wet and when cold. They are much better when warm and dry.
