Yep, you said it. Every time I shift to 2nd at redline, the rear tires spin a little. These tires don't squeel too loudly, and of course there is a lot of engine noise, but it is very easy to do and very easy to feel. I have 7400 miles, and hit the wear bars at about 7000.

My tires have about 20k on them, and I haven't been nice to them at all (probably sort of dangerous driving on those shoddy treads now.. should change em soon..) and with the PSI up at 32+ mine will chirp easily through 3rd.
