The problem for me is, that ...

...after the dream-time of M3 CSL (7min50sec) with almost slick-similiar tires, Sport Auto magazin started to meassure the cars also on a wet handling-track.
So it should be possible, to get a picture, if a car (and the tire)is only performed for dry conditions.

The times are:

911 GT3: 1 min 27,2 sec
911 GT3RS: 1 min 27,4 sec
Audi RS4: 1 min 27,5 sec
911 Carrera S: 1 min 28,4 sec
Cayman S: 1 min 29,1 sec
Murc. LP640: 1 min 29,2 sec
Maserati Gransp. 1 min 29,6 sec
Corvette C6 1 min 30,3 sec
BMW M6: 1 min 31,0 sec
Koenigsegg CCR: 1 min 33,5 sec
MB SL65 AMG: 1 min 35,6 sec
BMW 335i: 1 min 35,7 sec
BMW M5: 1 min 35,8 sec
MB CLK DTM AMG: 1 min 36,2 sec
M6 AC Schnitzer 1 min 36,5 sec
SLK 55 AMG: 1 Min 37,6 sec
Ferrari F430: 1 min 38,2 sec

So you can easy see, that RS4 and Porsche had a great performance on the wet handling track, but others like the F430 or the DTM AMG canīt follow a BMW 335i.

Also the Schnitzer M6, which is 12 seconds faster on Nordschleife as standard M6,is more then 5 sec slower on the wet-handling-track.

So there is no question for me, that the RS4 tires are a very good compromise for dry and wet conditions!
