The GT bodies seem to “soften” the handling just enough to make the traditional 1/12th scale cars substantially easier to drive and really raceable. I for one am thrilled with the GT development and the fact that 1/12th scale participation is finally now starting to build some real momentum after years of slow decline. IMO it would be a real shame if the introduction of rubber tires and the inevitable confusion and uncertainty that would certainly accompany them screwed that up.
