i never really understand why people say you cant compare apples to oranges. you compare things because they are different. not because they are the same.
Bolt part is completely invalid. The point regarding tires is that they are the ONLY thing keeping the car sticking to the road and a different compound will DRASTICALLY alter times. Put two different cars on the SAME tire and you're comparing what the CARS do and not what the TIRES do.
