GT-R posts new time on The Ring

Actually this is still considered a street tire. If you read the sidewall, a DOT-R would say "DOT R" on the side. These have a tread rating of 140...

Hoosier R6 (DOT R)- 40
Kumho V710 (DOT R)- 30

please do research before calling someone an idiot

The standard tire has a tread wear of 140. Please, don't be an idiot, before attempting to correct someone and mak yourself look more like an idiot.

Edit: Matt you know that ish has freaking competition tires that are far beyond a standard Z rated Pilot sport or Eagle F1. I'd be ashamed if you didn't acknowledge that

Then what is the "other" tires tread wear rating?

80. Refer to my last post.

you guys do know that there is no industry standard for treadwear ratings, right...?

that basically means that one manufacturers 140 could be equivalent to anothers rating of 100.

Yeah it's all relative but it gives you a nice moot point for what kind of tire falls where. A PS2 is a 220, Toyot R1R's are 140, Toyo R888's that I am going to be driving on in a solely driven track car this weekend are under 100 IIRC, just like the optional GTR tires.

wrong.

There are 3 different tires from the factory.

Bridgestone's that I stated earlier with a 140 rating

Dunlop SP Sport 600 DSST- 200
Dunlop SP Sport 7010 A/S DSST- 220R/240F

Regardless of the numbers, my O.P (post and point) is unscathed.

Edit: In response to this, a GTR owner told me the tread wears were "like 80" on the optional tire. I was basing my information from first hand experience, not Nissan's website. Can't always be exact

actually no. They are all tested equal. The only tires not needed for this test and are usually not accurate are snow/winter tires

idk what to say.. Some of you just seem to not grasp a really simple concept..

LOL at stock DOT tires being an unfair advantage.

New best time for the GTR is 7:26 as of yesterday!
