If you look up the temp ranges for the Team Powers tires you will see that the 36's are for very high temps. We have tried the 34 and 32 here in Hawaii.... it gets pretty warm here and we decided on the 32's as the temp range it still for warmer weather and the rubber has lasted many of us for 15 runs and even more with excellent grip. A 36 Team Powers and a 36 Sorex wont have the same grip the Team Powers will feel and act like a much harder tire. Our lap times with the Powers tires have come down and tire life has gone up since going to them, its a win win for us here.
