Why not? Isn't that a driver issue? I've been told that it's quite
possible to easily roll a Neon if driven very imprudently but that hasn't
excluded them. Besides, the very similar BabyGrands have Goodyear slicks as
their "spec" tires. Yes, apparently they have rolled a few times but that
was probably due to gross driver error and could easily be fixed by
adjusting weight limits or allowing track width adjustments.
I thought, and as hard as it is to believe I've been wrong before, that the
primary reasoning behind the BFG Radial TAs on the Legends was to keep the
costs to the racers down a little.
I personally like 'em both and would love to own one of each. I also think
that they would have gobs of spectator appeal and therefore quite possibly
bring more drivers into our ranks. And _that's_ a good thing.
That is all.
See you on course.
