Can you explain that a bit. It seems like (to me) if you can drive fast enough no matter the weight of the car you could get them up to temp. If they are below optimum temp you will start to slide which will increase the tire temp. You would keep sliding the car until you are in the sticky range and not sliding as much. Or even with all the extra sliding they still won't heat up enough?
