Hi All,

I was testing the stock 05 ford gt yesterday and it was terrible. too much over-steering and not stable at all, which is not the case for this car IRL, and i thought: mmmm the MR cars should have bigger cars in the rear than in front (thats how they are in real right?) so i bought comfort soft and sport medium (in addition to the stock sport hard) and went for some testing...

I tested it first with sport hard in rear and comfort soft at front, it was more stable and drivable! then i test it with sport medium in rear and sport hard at front and thats how i think the real ford gt should be,

i tried this to all MR super cars such as Ferrari F430, Zonda'z and it was really great, i mean look at the F430 as sample they have 225/35ZR19 at front and 285/35ZR19 at rear and since we cant change the tier width in GT5 so they both (front and rear) SHOULD not be same type, otherwise those cars will not be acting as IRL,,

you can use this site to get the actual tire size for most of the cars: http://www.sizemytires.com/

the same theory applies to the yellow-bird and so many cars in GT5!!! dont you agree
 
In my MINOTA 88C-V, I put race softs on the front and race mediums on teh rear. Then it was "loose" enough to get faster times on teh Indy 500.
 
On the newer mr cars the sports soft is the best it basically matches the pirelli p zero grip levels. By the way I found this out by doing 0-60 times and lateral g test on a mclaren mp4-12c and the tire matched perfectly.
 
Imagine one of your feet got amputated. Would you:

A) Use a wheelchair
B) Get a prosthetic foot
C) Chop your other foot off

Using a crummy tire on the end of the car with better grip is the same as option C as far as I'm concerned. GT gives us all sorts of tools to fix handling problems. Seems a shame not to use them.

Oh, and the game cars do have staggered tires.
 
If it works then use it... if you like the way it drives more power to you. There is not a proper way to do anything in a GAME.
