I highly doubt that!
GTs were 10s and 9s slower than P2s on Silv and Spa this year.
Fatter tyres would give what, 2s?
The biggest handicap of the GT cars is actually their weight. DTM probably have about the same power as GTs and they still are on par with LMP2s and the reason is obviously their 1030kg weight instead of 1250kg, or whatever, for the GTs(as DTM have spec Hankook tyres)

better tires how, increasing width? Because, given their stint lengh, the current compounds are about as good as they currently can have
P2s will upgrade their power to 600HP next year, IIRC, so I guess GT500 won't be faster than them even on a place like Fuji(On Suzuka I doubt that would happen even as it is now)
