Just for here they don't quite hold up in the higher temps. Actually on my 3rd run at the may AutoX it actually felt like I was driving on a greased pig, almost not traction at all. Temps were around 96-97 degrees and the asphault was hot enough that my shoes started to get mushy. No telling what the tire temps were.

Wow man... Now I can understand where you're coming from... I used to summer in DFW, TX with my Uncle... the heat there can be rediculous. I wish you could compare the Michelin summer tire performance in the same climate...
