Hi, I've asked this question over on PH as well. However, as there is a focused group of track drivers here so though may be worth a repost.
Before I obtain another set of Cup 2 tyres in 996 GT3 sizes, I was wondering whether there was any evidence of the difference between N-spec and non N-spec versions of this tyre.
I've had a couple of sets and 'I think' I had the following experience:
My first set was non N spec - they seemed a harder compound, potentially went off after a few hot laps, but lasted a long time.
My second set was N spec - they seemed to be a softer compound, more grip, higher wear rate, and bigger tail off with multiple heat cycles.
Now you may say I have answered my question above, however I am not a pro and was getting faster by the second set anyway which may have led to a different level of load on the tyres.
So, does the above experience correlate with anyone else?
