What's the time difference on each track between Pirelli SC and Dunlops? From looking at laptimes of recent RC Cup @ Laguna Seca, Alpha-13 SP is just as fast as Pirelli SC.
Problem for me is Pirellis take more skill at their limits and to reach those limits. They grip great, to a high-limit, but break-away is more sudden than with the Apha-13, which tends to be "slipperier" at limit. Alpha-13 start sliding more gradually rather than all-of-a-sudden. So even though they may not reach as high of limit for me, penalty for going over that limit is less severe than with Pirellis.
