This was a Subaru Legacy Sedan IIRC.
The roll probably would have happened regardless of what tire
was on the car, once you're off the pavement sideways at speed, a
roll is likely.
I think they were race tires because when he was out-of-shape on
the pavement, they didn't squeal and howl like street tires would.
