As long as those tyres are road-legal and can pass MOT (or whatever the local acronym for technical inspection is in Japan), its fine.
Even though tyres have huge effect on laptimes, I still think that they are external to the car itself - they are consumables, like oil, brake pads etc.
I will add a note saying that car had MPSC2s.

i think A45 AM 1:04.72 record should not be save , coz it used CUP2 tire to run
