200 treadwear is a determination of the manufacturer, it doesn't actually mean much. There are lots of 180 treadwear tires out now that are almost as fast as R-comps. The normal PS2's are a bit off an R-comp, but these new hybrid tires are fast! The GT-R's dunlops are actually faster than R888's on the GT-R. No ones tested the ZR-1's tires back to back with the MPSC but with only 2-3 seconds cushion on a normal 2-3 mile course to a regular PS2 there isn't that much time to be gained. The ACR still has the advantage IF it's gearing doesnt suck for the particular track which seems to be a common theme.
