Pirelli Is Better Than Michelin. My Honest Experience with Trofeo RS on the GT3 RS

This is already my second set of Pirelli Trofeo RS on my Porsche GT3 RS.

On the first set, I drove around 600 km, which is roughly 100 laps — either at Dubai Autodrome or at Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi. I just want to share my personal experience, in simple, everyday words.

Short version — I’m absolutely impressed. I honestly didn’t expect that tires alone could change the car this much. The handling becomes completely different. The car feels like it’s glued to the track. Grip is insane, corner entry is much more confident, exits are more stable, and overall it feels like you’re driving on a totally different level.

Before this, I was using Michelin Cup 2. They’re not bad tires at all. But after Trofeo RS, going back to Michelin is really hard. This is a completely different league. At least here in Dubai, in our climate and on our tracks, Cup 2 feels noticeably weaker. I don’t know how Michelin performs in Russia, Europe, or the US — it might be different there. But in this region, Trofeo RS is clearly superior in my experience.

Everyone who owns a GT3 RS and actually drives on track — I highly recommend trying Pirelli Trofeo RS if you’re not already on them. Even if you’re happy with Michelin Cup 2, just try it once. You’ll be genuinely surprised by how much potential the car really has.

I also want to say thanks to Pirelli and the whole Pirelli team. Tire changes are always quick and professional, and availability is great now. Last year there were some supply issues, but this season everything is in stock.

Bottom line — Trofeo RS unlocks the GT3 RS 100%.

Highly recommended.
