False. Haven't seen a hint of chunking on RE71s, MXX3 GTs, AVSis,
A520s, SP8000s, P7000s, and Potenza S02s on Street Touring cars ranging
from my 1980 lb Civic to a pair of big, fat, late-model Maximas. Street
tires have come a long way.

True. Shaving and swapping is being done in SFR and elsewhere.

Think of it as Street Prepared with a healthy dose of hindsight and try
to be open-minded and neighborly toward your fellow car enthusiasts
that the class brings in.
