I have a Mines GTR that I ran with SS tires for a long time, but then I entered it in a race where I could use RH tires and I found that they felt a lot less grippy. I was under the impression that all Racing tires were better than all Sports tires... Has anyone else noticed this?

You're doing something wrong.

I have had the same results. I feel like the RH are very slick. Seem to get more grip with the SS's.
 
I noticed front grip increased a lot more than the rear when I use racing tires. Thus car turn in more sharp but rear seems slide out. So it makes car more twitch and feels unstable. And some cars are affected more than others. But same time, I think braking distance is shorter and if you put more weight on rear by opening up throttle earlier, car actually can corner faster. Some of cars, if I tune with racing tire, it becomes under steering pig when I'm using SS.
I don't know it is realistic behavior or not when you put different tires. And I don't know why some cars take different tire well while others changing characteristic. But it seems this is how it is on GT6
 
The main thing I noticed was the first turn at the High Speed Ring. I could go almost flat-out with SS tires, but RHs would lose their grip about 1/3 of the way through.

Its good to know I'm not completely crazy. I've been sticking with SS tires in races that allow RHs and I've been winning easily enough with a car ~50pp lower than the limit.
 
I found on road cars doing events that did allow RHs, the grip too much. SS tires worked better for me and you could slide through the turns with more speed. The car I tried this on was the 15 th anniv. Mark V. The RHs were too grippy for that car. Perhaps that is realistic. The tires seem to be more realistic in GT6, in that throwing the grippiest tires does not make you go faster on certain cars. The RHs on racing cars work just fine for me which is probably how it should be.
 
You just have to put stiffer suspension settings... Worked for me with the GT-R Black Edition '12.

It was drifting on every corner with OEM Suspension, just changed for the Hard Sport Suspension Kit and it solved the grip problem with RH.
