............. as far as the tires lacking grip, I think that has been reported many times, makes me wonder why they aren't made in more than 1 compound and why they aren't made by more than 1 company.

 

The tires are pretty temperature sensitive and also seem to get less grippy with calendar age as well as heat cycles.  A freshly molded set operated up to temperature are pretty damn grippy on the track, although they're no substitute for race-compound slicks.

They seem almost dangerous below about 45-50F on the street.

Are there still no MPSCups available in the Carrera GT sizes?
