LOL Joe, I've noticed that a few times where I get on it and no noise from the tires but with the telltale black strips out back.
A lot depends on the pavement.
I have to say the OEM size tires are a little inadequate at times.

That the way I drive it , in D. The only time I use the paddles is when I am parked.

It jumps forward everytime i shift, there is no such thing as a smooth shift. is this with everyones f? cause i drive the car 90% time in normal with no paddles. And it shifts smooth, but when i have it in sport with paddles it is so violent.
precisely how the car is designed to shift with paddles. if you shift at ~ 5k, why not just put it in D and sports then? i shift at or near redline when using paddles. the violent jerk is exactly what i want in a sports car, just like the manual transmission.
