I would have thought its a given that FPV's numbers would improve with wider and substaintially better quality rubber...but this simple reality seems too hard for some to want to understand...

Without any doubt and by any objective unemotional analysis both brands have their own merits...now can you please wait five minutes before the show starts again so I can replenish my popcorn supply
I agree the FPV's would go quicker with better tyres but in saying that so would the HSV's.

I highly doubt the GTS tyres are the most expensive / stickiest tyres available for purchase, they're probably only a few hundred more a set than than dunlops.
