definitely the cold weather. I live in NH and own a 2015 Z06 and anything below 50 degrees and it gets interesting real fast. My Car had the cup2s on stock but i switched to the Michelin pilot ss which helped in the cold a little
I have driven the Z06 at spring mountain and they take the cup2s off and put the michelin pilot ss on and I can tell you that there is plenty of grip for the street and track on those tires as i was able to get the inside rear tire to come off the ground in the corners. I don't have any personal experience with the 4s but based on the michelin website they have improved the braking ability and the fuel efficiency over the pilot ss and everywhere else they rate them the same. I can tell you that I have no complaints with my pilot ss on the Z06 and I purchased them right after I got back from spring mountain as I was looking for a little more wear life and a little better grip in the colder weather and honestly for the street they are all you need as i have punished them at the track and they do the job well. They are better in the cold then the cup2s as well. In the morning when i was at spring mountain it was 40 degrees once they warmed up they stuck.
And my Z06 has 100 hp over stock and pulls just fine from a dig given the right conditions. Don't get me wrong it will spin em but its controllable
Once i get my ZL1 1LE i will be able to compare the cup2s the pilot ss and the goodyears but that won't be till spring due to salt on roads
