Default What tires did your GT3 come with?

I got the production photos recently and noticed they have Pirelli Zero Corsa - Was this a mistake? What tires did your car arrive with?

I had Corsas at delivery and both Cups and Goodyear since. They’re all good tires - really no complaints, but I’ll get the Goodyears again when the time comes.

Cup2s but getting GY installed as we speak to try them out.

(and P.S. there are many of these exact threads already)

I've read that the Pirelli's have a more compliant ride than the Cup 2's.

Yup.
I had Cup 2's on my GT4 and Pirelli's came on my 2023 GT3 Touring.
Love the Pirelli's!

Mine came with Cup 2, but I changed them to PS4S.

Wasn't there a survey/poll thread on this prior?

Cup2s for me (based on what I can tell from the teaser TYD shots LOL)

Have had both Cup2s and the Dunlops (now Goodyears?) on prior GT4s on the back of the factory 'tire lottery'. Each had their respective pros and cons, which has been extensively documented.

Hi I've heard this switch referenced frequently and I'm interested in reducing the NVH on the car - what's been your experience on the swap from Cup2 to PS4S and are you finding the street performance/feel significantly different?

I got Pirellis and honestly do not love them. Not super quiet on the street. Track wise they are fine...but i am finding that they get greasy quicker. Im going to run them until the go - but I am already making an appointment to mount Cup 2s late June.
Have done a fair amount of non- RL reading on Cup2s now and for street only I would probably consider the PS4S over Cups for the wear.

BUT for me I wouldn't swap the Pirellis for PS4S. Just run the crap out of them and replace.

I just got my wheels back with new GY's on (formerly Cup2s). I will say they are chonky. Definite difference in weight.

Can't wait to try them out this weekend.
