I hate when people post those GRM results. They are soo F'd.. .

They shouldn't even have tested the Dunlop b/c it's not even the same size as the others 195/55 vs 205/50. It's taller 23.5 vs 23.1 and less wide.. . A taller tire on a 98hp car is going to have a huge impact not to mention if the section wides are smaller = less grip than a close competitor.

There is no way, no how a RT615 is going to keep up with a Dunlop SS used on a 235/45/17 on a stock EVO at Auto X. On a road course you'd likely see a 2 second a lap difference on a 1:30 course. They are that much better, especially after a few laps.
