You should learn to read, the Dunlops ARE the quicker tyres, the Bridgestones are the slower tyres (of which all the UK cars have been equipped with, yet STILL seen off all-comers ) .

The Dunlop is a little noisier and not quite as good in the wet as the RE070R, but in the dry it's worth 4-5 seconds around the 'Ring. Incredibly all the tests of the GTR in the UK so far have been on the slower Bridgestone - and yet it has consistently set faster lap times than cars like the GT3.
