Taller tires are better for roads (potholes and stuff) and less important for track. 10-20mm wider tires - I honestly cannot tell the difference, and I can tell the difference between 2 heat-cycle slick and 3 heat-cycle slick just by feel.
Also, Gt4 RS and GT3 have nearly identical chassis width. GT3 only has 15mm wider rear track (1557mm vs 1542mm), which is pretty much the difference in tire width, so chassis width is actually identical. Objectively, 718 is not a smaller or lighter car by any perceivable measure. Most of the difference in body measurement is superficial and due to tires and aero appendages sticking out further on the GT3. Both are great cars, but "718 is so much smaller/lighter" is objectively inaccurate and "nimbler/better for road" is questionable (I, for one, do NOT want the noise of GT4 RS on the road - I want to save my ears for my fancy music equipment).

No worries for the ears
I prefer a GT3 only when turning on a racetrack >124mph
Excluding the GT4RS which is too firm on legal roads and not so good as the GT3 on recetrack ,
I prefer any 718 S , Spyder RS over any GT3 on any legal road

It has always been transmitted to myself July 16/17/18th.. presumably to coincide with Goodwood..
I do not think it will be July as the Spyder RS and possibly the hypercar will be seen at going up the hill at Goodwood
