If your alignment is good, they will not cord before falling off (avoid excessive toe in the rear) and make sure the kinematic toe is set properly (see Larry Herman for this cure). Tires will start losing grip at about 25 heat cycles. They are great tires for learning on. The lack of grip when cold is synonymous with true slicks and you learn to scrub them hard while getting heat into the them. It is almost impossible to overheat them, but you can "over inflate" them by not starting at the correct cold temps.
