RE070Rs aren't that new apparently. Those on the GTR are indeed new nitrogen filled RFT's, other than that they seem to be very similar to the basic RE070s which were used as the stock tires for NSX-R in 2002 and all STI's since 2004 and have the same 140AA rating.
As for P-Zero Corsa, i've come up with two numbers while searching for it's UTQG - 60 and 140 and had no idea which one is correct for Superleggera'. Now i double checked, more likely it's fitted with P-Zero Corsa Asimmetrico 60AA rated R-compounds.

And yeah, 140s are 1.6 times softer than 220 - the difference is notable. To get a really fair comparison between the cars first of all you have to have them fitted with the same quality rubber.
