FWIW & IMHO:
ohhh, I have to disagree with some of the comments being said here regarding a comparision of the 2 tires in question.
I thought the same thing regarding this question here up until I bought a pristine, showroom condition, garaged its whole life '87 Turbo-T about 3 months age with about 8.4K miles on the clock.
I had at that time another '87 Turbo-T with 117K miles on the clock that I had been using as a daily driver. It was shoed with a brand new set of GTII'S. Both are now and were at the time I owned both bone stock. I hate to say it but the car with the GTII'S handled slightly better, especially in the corners. The car with the original GT'S seemed like the tires were not quite as stiff,especially on the sidewalls as the GTII'S. Just my opinion, but I did drive both during the week for about 3 months to work up until I sold the one with 117K miles to a friend
However, in straight line acceleration, maybe the original GT'S bit better, but I do like the GTII'S over the originals for most applications.
