I want to know how Racing Tires compares to normal/sim(T0)/sport(T1) tires in grip and durability. Please list them in desending order of grip and decending order of durablity.

Obviously Race tires are as follows:

Grip - T8>T7>T6>T5>T4>T3>T2

Durability - T2>T3>T4>T5>T6>T7>T8

Where do the other tires fit in?
 
In terms of grip, the sport tyres (T1) are next on the list, followed by normal tyres, then simulation (T0) tyres.

In terms of durability... You got me... *shrugs* These three grades all tend to last about as long as T5s - maybe a little less.
 
Sports Tires are about the same as T4s iin durability, but nowhere near in grip. They are less grippy than T2s. I only use Sports tires instead of T2s on extremely light cars like the Elise.
