Contrary to popular belief, I don't believe most guys selling cars at Barret Jackson are what we would refer to as "car guys". Most of them are just guys with lots of money that wanted a particular car since they were kids and finally have the money to get one. They own it for a while, drive it very little but enough to show off, then sell it again. Most of them probably wouldn't know how to drive in a spirited manner, or enjoy the feeling of being able to break the tires loose with very little effort because it makes the car feel like it has more power than it does. Track days would be a foreign concept to many of them so performance tires really aren't a consideration. What is important is looks and Radial TA's look pretty good, and stay that way for a long time for little money.

Most guys who hang out here or on other performance forums get schooled pretty thoroughly on many things performance-wise and tires are no exception, so the knowledge base here tends to be a little higher than the average muscle car owner, IMHO.
