It's a big difference on lap time and feel. Perhaps you want skidpad numbers?

[QUOTE=track junkie;1227408]
The difference in lap time for Pro Randy Probst is only 2.5 seconds. 1:33.6 for the stock Michelin Primacy vs 1:31.1 for the Bridgestone RE-11A.
The Primacy looks more than adequate for street use if you are comfortable with them. I can understand how many are not.

All I know is that I swapped my stock Primacy tires for Pilot Super Sport, and it was the best money I've spent on the car thus far. So much stability and crazy good wet road traction. No more tire hop when pushing the car.
