Real life GT5 tyre equivelants?

[Machate-man]

From what I can conlude;
Comfort hards- Goodyear Integrity. All seasons tyre used for passenger cars
Comfort medium- Dunlop SP Sport 5000. All season performance radials for everyday use
Comfort softs-Advan A032R- high performance Radial for dry conditions
Sports medium- Advan A048- performance tyres for dry conditions. low tread pattern.
Sports soft- Bfgoodrich g-force R1. minimal legal tread pattern for maximum grip and traction.
Racing Hard, rain and intermediate-Goodyear Formula SAE
Racing softs-Hanook Ventus 2Z14 C71 compound. Soft compound for qualifying.

The racing tires would not be a DOT approved tire. They would be more like http://www.conti-online.com/generat...ion/grand_am/tire_order/tire_order_ov_en.html for a hard or medium tire and a racing soft would be an ALMS, JGTC, or Le Mans racing tire
IMO

Racing softs would not be a tire you could legally use on public roads. Think F1 super softs.

How about sports medium and racing medium?

Did some testing myself with the HKS Evolution. This car holds a record at Tsukuba using ADVAN A048-R tyres which are described as being of medium or hard compound and being DOT approved.

This car comes with sports soft tyres and after many laps on these I conclude that they are not equal to the ADVANS used in real life. I'm a pretty quick racer but on those tyres I could not even get near 4 seconds of the lap record of 53.589secs.

So I changed to racing hards and found these to be much more akin to the grip that some of the best DOT approved road/track tyres. I researched the Tsukuba lap time set by this car and it just felt much less grippy and looser than the car appeared on the videos I watched. I will not deny that obviously NOB is a very fast driver otherwise he wouldn't be in the drivers' seat but these times seem impossible with the lack of downforce and/or lateral grip available.

EDIT: Just now I decided to do another tsukuba time trial, this time in the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 which had me worried being on sports hard tyres. Best motoring lapped this car in 1:03.23 and my time was 1:00.846, which is quite strange.

All seasons tires suck though...
What about the proper summer tires for passenger cars?

You mean like Michelin PS2's or Pirelli P-zero Corsa's?
Id guess it's comfort soft if so.
