With all the tire talk lately, this question has surfaced in my mind:
Why do we require DOT race tires? Why not allow race slicks too?
Good enough for CP, good enough for ESP - and besides, a g-force has a lower
void ratio than a current F1 tire.
Allowing slicks would give people even MORE choice in tires.
(Although I'm with the good Mr Mitchell on this one - there is more tire choice
today than there ever has been, and no need for minimum speed ratings, treadwear
numbers, durometer, or whatever)
