I know that tires make a difference but I think the higher the level of driver the more important it becomes, I would love to conduct this test if any tire co.'s out there want me to do a review send me a p.m. please don't try and prank me.... I have certainly asked for it.
The problem lies with if you have ever driven either tire you will know which tire is which.
One and only "test" of tires is lap times. Just because they "fell good" or "feel fast" doesn't mean that they are.
Out of the 100s of tires we've tested it always comes down to what feels good is usually the slowest in lap times because the driver becomes comfortable and doesn't stay on the edge and thus slows down.
