Weird tire slip during first turn

Hey, I'm still getting familiar with my C63 AMG. I notice that almost every time I make my first right turn (and accelerating to normal driving speeds) after starting up the car, it sounds like one of my tires spins out or looses traction. This sounds like a LSD related issue. It doesn't happen again after the first time. Anyone else have a similar problem.

Notes: car has less than 11k miles. I don't track the car or abuse it.

How cold is it out? Do you have summer tires on it? May just be tire hop while the tire is still cold and not softened yet

My e63 does this in sub 40F weather with the summers on

It's just a weak grip tire issue. How many miles on the tires? Have you looked to see how worn they are?

I think the original tires when the car was new are on there. Tread looks okay.

I'm out here in Southern California, so it doesn't get too cold.

Surface is also something to consider - I park in a parking garage with a coating of something on it and it makes all sorts of weird/slipping noises on a near full lock turn from a dead stop like backing or pulling out of my spot first thing.

This is happening to me on normal concrete.

No way rear tires have lasted that long. The inside 3 inches should be badly worn and showing wires if they are original equipment.

Is it only on concrete or all surfaces? Again, I might be stretching here, just something I've noticed in the past.

used to live on a complex where theres some sort of clear rubber coating on the basement parking lot. my tyres slip no matter how old or new they are but more so when cold (after start) or wet.
