    They sure are Gabriel. Given that using full racing slicks gives you about 10-12 seconds advantage at the ring and 2-3 seconds on Hockenheim, the difference between a high performance street tire and another in the ring should be no more than 2 or 3 seconds at most but thats it.

    Re: Nordschleife: BMW M5 sucks

    I would be very curious how much the laptimes will be improved with the Michelins.

    If you're going 8 min. I strongly believe that it might be a few fractions faster, even more than two or three.

    I think you would need to go to an R-compound tire to achieve more than that, hence the GT3RS laps 7:47 (with Walter Rorhl) with the Corsa-R's and the regular GT3 with the Mich's PS2 already does 7:54 (with Saurma), and those 8 secs difference accounts not only for the R-compound Corsa's advantage but also the GT3RS lighter weight, sportier setup and Walter Rolhs magic hands. So if thats the difference between the R-compound Corsa and a regular street tire like the Mich PS2, then the difference between two street tires must be less, IMO that is.
