Tires for Road Legal Cars.

Hi!,
I'm new to AC, coming from Project Cars.

When driving road legal sport cars you can choose between "Road Tires" and "Semislicks".

I've been trying to grab a specific car model and race it around the Norsdschleife in an attempt to see how close I can get to the official record established by this car on the Nordschleife in real life (i'm still quite far away btw)

In real life these lap times are set using road legal tires such as the Pirelli PZero, Michelin Pilot Sport Cup or Pilot Sport 4S....

Into which in-game category of tires would those be? Road Tires or Semislicks?

Semislicks are generally road legal, eg. Toyo R888 or Pilot Sport Cup 2, road tires are more like the factory provided tire. It's quite approximate though, manufacturers didn't provide data for the tires or anything.

So I think I'll have to use the "Semi Slick" option instead of the "Street tires" in order to compare my lap times to the official ones.
Most records are set with Michelin Sport Cup and Pirelli PZero Corsa. I think we could consider these as semi slicks whereas the Michelin Pilot Sport tires probably should be considered as "Street Tires".

Cheers
