No chunks of tires missing. Just couldn't believe how soft the tires were when hot, almost sticky.


It's just the way high performance tires are. They won't pick nearly as much when cold.
Those particular tires will run at about 140+ degrees on a hot day just driving on the interstate. The hotter they get, the more they pick up. All perfectly normal.

The pick up you're seeing will be removed in a couple corners on the street even at lower speeds.

If you've watched a oval or road race and seen the cars weaving back and forth before the start, they aren't warming up the tires, they are scrubbing off the pickup.

The Z06 I instructed in last weekend had a set of Generals on. He had almost no pickup on the tires but the car did tend to slide a bit more in the corners (not a big deal and doesn't mean anything bad about Generals).
