Question Tires that come with the Performance Package

I read a review recently that claimed that the tires mounted on the PP had iffy grip in everyday driving. At least until they had been thoroughly warmed/heated.
To those that have the PP: have you found this to be true?

Actually handled OK, but if it was below 55-60 you needed to warm them up. If it was 45 and down they were like driving on Hockey Pucks.

Feb 7th I drove on them (EcoB P.P.) through Kentucky/Ohio/lower Mi.around 30 deg.(cold & some snow); drove carefully & they were ok. T
ried moving the car at 20 deg & they were very 'stiff'. To replace them w/all season hi perf when worn out.

I've put about 6k miles on my 2016 GT/PP over the last five months, and can say that the Pirelli P Zeros hook decently when they're sufficiently warm. They're certainly not sticky tires, and won't have the same prowess as a drag slick, but they're decent. I drive this as a daily, so when it's below 45 degrees, I'm very cautious for the first few miles, or so, but after that, the grip doesn't fall off as fast as I expected. At initial start, though, they're as hard as rocks.

Once these are worn out, I'll probably be going to a set of Michelin Pilot Super Sports, probably a little wider than stock, but for now, they're fine.
