Tyres. Honestly somebody may go faster on tyres with less grip simply because they prefer the feel or the way they handle.

So many factors. I have R1R and they're great but the treadwear rating is just 140. If you have the money go for it but for a daily driver I think T1R's are a better option if you can still find them, or even the Yokohama S Drive. KU31 for tighter budgets.


Grippest set of street tyres I have ever felt was the Hankook Ventus RS2. Maybe try the RS3.
