And are you seriously comparing a McLaren tire to the tires that come on M3s? Arent the P1 tires a couple grand each? The 650s is not much different. Not to mention the fact that the engine is literally over the rear axle that needs the traction, which matters more anyway in this example. Come on man, apples to oranges.

When BMW wants make a rear engine M3 and M5 then we can compare them.

We can agree to disagree thats fine.
Again... you skipped my Z06 comment... a 650 hp / 650 lb ft car that weighs ~3400 lbs that has less traction issues than the m3... you are going to argue different class of car / much wider tires... I am going to say obviously and say again the car weighs 3400 lbs... perhaps the issue isn't really weight...
