STAC opening up STS for ringer tires?

[David Hillman <hillman@planet-torque.com>]

   Perhaps someone can explain the motivation for the following;

        20) Street Touring: per the STAC, add as new Section 17.3.C:
        "Section 13.3.F is not applicable to the Street Touring rules."
        ( Source: http://www.scca.org/news/tech/seb/02-04-01.html )

   13.3.F says;

        F. Each tire model must be sold in at least four diameters, with a
        total of at least six sizes.
        ( Source: http://www.moutons.org/sccasolo/Rules/stock.html )

   Does this make sense to anyone else?  It seems to me that it just got
easier for a tire company to fulfill Roger Johnson's predictions of STS
ringer tires.

   I must be missing something.
