All,
So after reading this forum, I know for a fact I need to get new summer tires for my 2011 GT500. I already have Michelin Alpin's for winter, so I'm good there. But I don't have the money to blow on a good set of new summer tires just yet, which means that I am stuck with the stock Goodyear's for the rest of this year's summer. And on a related note, I also live in downtown Chicago, where it has been in the mid to upper 70's lately as the high temperature.
Anyways, my question to everyone is this: how do I adequately warm these Goodyear tires on public streets? I obviously can't do a burnout while driving through the middle of downtown Chicago if I want to keep my license, yet if I hit the accelerator even a little, I will break traction with these tires unless it is above 90 degrees out and I've been driving a while. So I feel there has to be a safe way to warm them up when I want to drive a little more spirited - I just don't know what works best. Do I try taking off ramps at high speed to put some cornering force on the tires? Do I just drive a few miles on them at speed? Again, I'm trying to avoid spinning the tires and drawing the cops, but I still want to warm up my tires.
Any advice is appreciated!
