Yes, it's normal. Like I said, the tires literally skip over the pavement during tight turns when cold.

M4A1 mustang is right. I noticed this a while back, and had a friend stand near the car and actually look. The tire does "skip" across the pavement.

If I gun it, even on a dry street, in these temps, my traction control goes NUTS. Didn't have that issue in summer. It has to be the tires.

I switched to Hankook all seasons for the cold season for this very reason.
