Faster yep and lasts longer as heard.
Will fully test it on Nordschleife in May, 2 trackdays + 2 TF.
OEM size, running 2.2 front and 2.5 rear (works the best like that).

All lap records were made with N2 (gt2rs and gt3.2 RS)

Not the Cup R, which is about a second per minute faster than the N2?

Yes, N2 is faster. I improved my time at Auto Club Speedway by 2 seconds and Chuckwalla by 2.5 seconds on a new set of N2s over the N1s.

Peter or others: anyone run the 20 inch Hoosiers yet? I'm thinking of going with the 20 inch, 285/30ZR front and 335/25 ZR rear. I just don't want the caliper clearance issues with with my ST CCM rotors and the yellow calipers with the 19s. Just not super excited by that 25 sidewall height on the rears.

Just got a set of N2's on my 991.1 GT3 RS. Can not say anything yet.


This tidbit may explain the choice of MPSC2 N0 (the 918 tire) for the Manthey 991.1 GT3 RS when they did their fast runs on Nordschleife and Hockenheim:

The N0 is a faster tire then the N1 but only for a very short window. After that they "fall of the cliff". That is the reason they used that tire for these "records".

Same setup.
only change is the 991.2RS spring rates.
it works, do it.

I do get bounced around in the car more, but it sticks.
Just learning to drive the track a little differently.

Front and rear bars full soft, suspension soft.

It appears both records were set using Cup R. 3RS on Cup is known and Lars Kern's instagram post indicates the same for 2RS record.
