Are ya'll fucking kidding, this was already quoted, explained once...


A ZR1 has a fucking standard Z rated tire, with a 220 tread wear, which gets gooey and sticky when its HOT which hampers performance.
A SKYLINE DOES NOT you DUMB motherfuckers. They highest tread wear on any tire offered is a 140 (equal to the Toyo R1R), the optional R Dunlops are even lower (80ish). In other words it is a pure race compound tire, which behaves like race tire, not a pilot sport and cuts LOTS of time

You clearly have no knowledge of tires compounds and how they behave...

One car has a tire that behaves better when it's HOT as hell, the others sans the ACR, GT2 and GT3RS (which still have a lesser tire then the GTR) have a tire which gets greasy and de-laminates when it's hot and being pushed. The GTR significantly puts better times down solely because it's on race compound tires, which some of the competition lacks
