The gt63s, although the car is much slower if tires were not a variable, has much more stable corner exits because of way wider rears and rear wheel steering. The difference is also shown in their top speeds of the lap, the amg can start gassing it out of a corner way before the bmw but ends up having almost identical lap time because the m5 has better front grip.

The GT63s on this race was stated as running on street tires, so the Michelins PS4s, not the Sport Cup 2's. Just FYI |
Yes that is correct, the two cars have almost identical tire compound(p zero better than ps4s by tiny 1-2% when heated)and same front tire width. The big difference I noticed is in the rear tires being over 10% wider on the mercedes. This allows it to start powering out of corners way earlier than the m5 could without spinning out.
