Perhaps but I believe that they are better, quicker in the cold.

My 016s spin out the rear pretty easy, especially when they're not fully hot. They'll do it when they're hot anyways, it's a little harder. I was trying to power wheelie with them on and they would spin more than they would grip. Overall, I still like them. Did one track day on 'em and felt no negative feedback at all. So good, I'm gonna try some Bridgestone DOTs for my next track day.
