I’m currently on the stock 4S tires and have noticed the traction going away significantly in the past several months. My assumption is the colder weather and the fact I’m at the point I’ll be needing to replace the tires in the next couple thousand miles due to wear is giving me the issues, however the traction during acceleration has fallen off more than expected. I run with traction control off and have had lots of wheel spin on first to second shift since day one, even in the AZ summer heat, but entirely manageable. Now, anything close to full throttle in first and second gear at any time results in spin. Frustrating.
I don’t need a tire for freezing temperatures, being in AZ but wonder if the Cup 2s would be of no benefit (or even be worse than the 4S) when the ambient temp is in the 40’s-50’s. I don’t need a rain tire either and I’m willing to give up tread-wear for performance. My plan all along was to go with the Cup 2, but starting to have second thoughts and now considering trying them only on the rear first. I went with 888Rs on my ZL1 and was very impressed with the traction, but they were deafening and I really don’t want that on the Blackwing.
Anybody gone through the original tires on the 5 Blackwing and made a change?
