I've changed those (crap) tires for my TCS tires and the car was at least 1,5seconds faster per lap.
I was as fast as guys with a FGX but i think it would have been better to use the pit shimizu 575 rear tires (the ones i didn't have ) for more rear traction.
They are allready been ordered and hope to be able to test them soon.
