Two cases in point here, at Hawthorne I got my ass kicked by an STi on V710's. I couldn't come close to matching his times.

Poiunt number two, Pat Riley's S2000. For the whole season he has ran on race tires. I can usually come within 1.5 second of his time. Which gives me the win due to the T modifier. Then on Sunday at Squaw Valley, Pat ran on his street tires. Pat was in average of tow seconds behind me. So, based on this unscientific analysis. I would say that race tires do give you an advantage. In Pat's case, it would seem to give him a 3.5 second faster car.
