Road Tyres vs Track Tyres vs Slick Tyres P1 of 3

This was a smaller jump from the Trofeo R than between the PZ4 and Trofeo R, but still a good increase of steering speed and lateral stiffness. They took about the same time to warm up, but the rear was a little more flighty with oversteer until warm. Once warm, they had seemingly endless grip, everything to Trofeo R was good at this was better. It was almost too much for the car, at one point I could barely push the brake hard enough to get the abs system to activate, probably the hardest I've been able to brake in a road car. Zero heat deg across multiple hard laps.

Strong: Dry Handling
