That's what Skelekitty's instructor said to her once she started carrying a decent amount of speed into the corners--"good, you're having a conversation with your tires".

Got to get me a set before my next track day. Mine Sumitomo's (what came with the car) were talking too, but also telling me "listen buddy, we're not track tires, and if you keep doing this we're going to go past greasy and to on to a full melt". I like them for street and they're pretty good in the wet, but they're not up to track work.
