Default Re: Can Can GT3 "respond" similarly with R6s and NT01s?

Having driven my son's 951 on both tires, I would say no. The R6 sidewall is stiffer so it works at a lower slip angle than the Nitto, and no amount of suspension twiddling will fix that. Can you get it close in terms of grip? I would say yes, but only within a second or 2, else all of the club racers would be running Nittos instead of R6s.
