Default semi slicks temperature

I have the Dunlop DZ02G, medium compound but the car slides too much.
Abient temperatures are high, 33 degrees celcius and the race was a short hill climp, about 1min 30sec.
Do these tires need some warm up? What is the optimum temperature that have to have in order to work fine?

I think one or two people use these new Dunlops in England, and they work straight out of the box, no probs, but in the UK the ambient can be around 20 deg C +/- 5 deg.

Our hillclimbs are about 50 to 60 seconds long, so quite short.

The Dunlops are about as hot at the finish of the run as my soft compound Kumho V70.
