Default Sport Cup 2 hop skip during slow U turns?

I just recently replaced my Pzeros with Pilot Sport Cup 2s.

A question for Cup 2 owneres. Perhaps only for C4 owners. Do these tires do slight hop skips when your doing slow hard radius turns? I never noticed on my Pzeros but it’s pretty noticeable on the Cup 2s especially as the weather gets cold and i have to do a hard turn while the tires are cold.

It feels just like how my Jeep Wrangler hop skips in 4wd mode during hard turns with the dif lock.

I believe it’s the tires slipping because they are cold. Those tires are not grippy until warmed up.

Even with rear-axle-steering, the Pzeros on my C4S slip during sharp turns when they are cold.

I just had a loaner Macan base with 21's that did this on ANY turn over 90 degrees even in 80 degree heat!
