Can Pirelli, off shelf(which won't have their best compound which is already a lot slower than Michelin's to begin with), tires really "blow the doors" off the spec Continental?
If Contis are really this bad I think IMSA should do something about it and request a better product from them(I'm sure they are capable of and their street tires are usually among the top rated)

Yes, it's a known fact that the tires Conti supplies are slow compared to pretty much everything else.
