Yes. Of course they have more grip. Why else would people race on them and not RR’s? RR’s are known for having a hard compound that wear well. Not known for having great grip. SpecE46 uses them, but it’s a spec series so everyone has to use them. Where tire choice is an option, most pick Hoosier or maybe Hankook.
A friend did a back to back in his IP racecar of the RR and the Z214 at Roebling Road (a relatively short lap at @1:18). Z214’s were 2 seconds faster.
