Put Continental 315/35zr20 On Rear Car Floating
I put 315/35ZR-20 Continental Extreme Contact DWS XL on rear and the car is floating. With the Goodyear's I could pull 1.2g's with these only .85 tops.
I am hoping they will firm up when a little tread wears off. So far not recommended.

Well it's an all season tire, might have been better if you lived up north during winter months. You can't beat a summer tire in the south. Continental's aren't known for performance either.

For our weather down here, I'm planning on trying a set of Invo's at the end of the month.

It is an all season tire with much thinner sidewalls.
I found them bouncy on my Subaru STi. To help the float situation, try adding a couple extra psi. For the ZL1 they still are the best all-season option. I will be getting a set soon for the cooler months. But if you live in Florida, why run all-season tires ?? |

I don't know how many miles you put on the tires yet but it could take up to 400 miles for them to break in. Tires do not have there full potential right off the bat.
