They turned purple once and it was only the rears.
But honestly, I'd rather have an overheat problem than an under heat problem. I can cool the tires, but I can't warm them.

That isn't the point of overheating tires. The point at which the tires are overheating is going to be when they feel greasy. No color distortion needed, just a feeling and understanding of what the tires are doing.

You know what I mean.They never felt greasy last year. Although I definitely abused the rears. Less grip in the rear was welcomed.

I still don't understand how the rears could be hotter than the fronts... You sure you got zero toe in the rear?

I think I posted about this on another thread in the past, but here it is again.
Lone Pine Time Trials
I've run this event twice....well worth the drive IMO. Check out the video and you get an idea what the course is like.

That sounds like more work... I don't like doing work. Doing the water was a lot of work. I just want to drive the car.

Lift... Hard? I have been able to get some good rotation out of my car. I'm pretty sure the rear toe is 0. The tires don't show signs of toe wear. If there's any uneven wear, it's camber wear. The outermost section of tread doesn't see a lot of tarmac outside of AutoX.

And I think Gagan is referring to how quickly/slowly are you getting off throttle.

Lift oversteer?
It's weird to describe letting off the gas... hard.
I can usually get good modulation without getting completely off the gas. Usually comes into play in the longer turns which there aren't very many of.
Seriously, though, I need you to drive my car... I need to get someone who knows what they're doing to take it for a spin so I know how terrible the set-up is.
