Traction problem with P_Zero Nero?

Went from Carlsson 1/6 with 255/35/18 Potenza SO3s to Speedline 2211 with PZero Nero(saved about 5 lbs per corner) but I have notice a great loss of traction in both wet and dry.

I can seldom spin the rear tires before in my C32 with my old setup but I do it all the time now.

I was wondering if this is because of the reduction in unsprung wait or just the Neros are just inferior to SO3s?

Anyone having similar experience with the Neros?

depends on the weather
While the Nero's are good the S-03's are great !!! I believe you issue is a combination of less weight and less tire

C32
I've p-zero rosso on my car and so far they are very good.

S-03s are summer tires and Neros are A/S tires i guess?
