I have a question for you @Ridox2JZGTE, but please, anyone who would like to share their opinion, I would love to hear it. Anyway, onto the question! What is your opinion on the tires available in this game and how they correspond to real life tires? For instance, which game tire would you say compares to a Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tire? How about a Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2? There has to be a difference matching those tires to our in-game tires because they DO provide different levels of grip in real life. Which game tire would best represent Pirelli P Zero Corsa? How about Pirelli P Zero Trofeo R? The Trofeo R tires are clearly a track focused tire, whereas the P Zero Corsa look more like a high performance summer tire. Then there are tires like the Michelin Super Sports, a tire that BMW has used for its M5.
Gran Turismo 6 also includes dozens (hundreds?) of fairly "regular" cars that don't necessarily come with P Zero quality rubber. Which in-game tire do you think should be fitted on a '05 Volkswagen Golf V GTI? Do you have a rule of thumb that you use? I've seen some people comment that they follow a steadfast rule based on how many PP a car has. Personally, I don't really think you can be quite that strict with it.
For instance, those of us in this garage are obviously fans of replica builds. When I build a new Lamborghini Countach LP400 from 1974, if I am going for real life accuracy I can't just slap SS tires on it and call it a day. Well, I could... As Ridox said to me earlier today, "If someone were to take their restored LP400 to a track day this weekend, chances are he would have put modern rubber on a set of rims." I agree with Ridox 100%. So, there are two different ways we can equip our 1974 LP400 Countach. We can try to match the original equipment, or we could put something modern on the car instead.
What are your thoughts on this matter? To me, this is one of the most important decisions one can make. Especially when driving replicas. Those of us here are looking for a more realistic experience, rather than looking for tunes that exploit every single flaw in GT6's tuning capabilities.
