the threat to stop making r-tires doesnt make sense to me- scca and other orgs can just change what tires are allowed in certain classes. thats just changing some words on some paper somewhere. -jame

Do you realize how difficult it is to get SCCA to "just change some words somewhere". It might take years for that to happen, and then you have to phrase the wording so carefully to keep people from

My concern would be that our government, in the interest of "safety", would establish regulatory requirements that would make it impossible for any tire to attain the dry clean pavement performance t

James, What planet are you on? You have no idea of the implications of banning "R" rated tires would have. First and foremost its big brother telling you what can and can't do once again. Secondly th

You said it Larry, I couldn't agree more. I made sure to let the NHTSA know how I feel and I hope you will too. Most politicians and bureaucrats use "public feedback" as a rough measure of what they

to do with R tires?! Nothing. No, they should ban incompetent drivers. Unfortunately, that solution is too sensible, not to mention it's not politically correct. Scot
