Because he's wearing a T-shirt with a bike on it? Are we really gonna go there?

I'm sure that was just a bit of fun.

It doesn´t make sense to have a set of tires shipped to Japan if they are to be used on the this years Nürburgring 24h GT-R race car, since the car is produced at Schulze Motorsports in Germany (Kaz recently visited them). All the testing would be done by-and at Schulze Motorsports.
So either they do not Team-up this year and Kaz/PD will run a team on their own (wich would be a waste of money and time they should use for development of the next Game instead, IMO) with a GT-R GT3 build up in Japan.
Or the tires aren´t "for" the GT-R but "from" the GT-R and the purpose to have them set up in the office has to do with game development rather than real world racing.
Yet, if the latter was the more likely possibility, then... isn´t it a bit late?
I find it good to see Kaz posting some info, but we would really wish for just a little more transparancy from their side.

Late for a GT6 this year, possibly, but it's probably not the last game they'll make. If they're going to be taking direct measurements themselves, that's a long and difficult project, so the full results might not be evident for some time. I doubt this is the first time they've looked at tyres though.
Still, it might just be to inspire the staff with the smell of rubber in the office, to go with the cans of GT85 "air freshener", tins of grease and jars of petrol they no doubt already have dotted around. Someone might even occasionally take a lighter to the tyres for extra motivation...
I like the guessing; you can't stamp out ambiguity completely anyway. It's a great way for people to be constantly aware of what they don't know, and therefore mustn't assume. We'll know eventually.

People grasp at straw of equal measure before and now for GT6 so...I think their idea is why not, but in this case a funny joke more so.

Still no idea what that Facebook update was.

Not sure what that pattern is meant to be when the Pirellli partnership came before the Viper one.
Sure, I bet you a curly wurly.

I wonder how many people have no clue what your talking about
From subbing to his posts via text, I was oh able to copy a smal bit to translate it in Google. 100 times the fun I have overcome the fear Nurburgring. When this fear I have become much less is the most dangerous. Please do your best this year. I support you!
I'll list screenshots of the conversation.

kaz is not pd, pd is not kaz.
There's easily 150-200 other employees back at the pd offices working on stuff they should be working on. If anything, you should be thanking kaz for racing a few times a year. It could do nothing but make the game better in the long run.
