I don't know about you, but continuing to be able to get insurance and not have max points on my license is important to me. This is the same reason squid motorcycle riders without helmets doing wheelies and burn-outs on city streets are bone-heads. Take it to the track!

I don't know about NM, but in PA a loss of traction is called careless driving. Putting rock hard tires on your 600hp/575tq car is just asking for problems! Unless of course you're "driving miss daisy," or.. "a sunday driver!"
I'm an aggressive yet defensive driver by nature. Now days you almost ahve to be! There are so many people talking on cell phones, eating, or doing whatever while driving that people aren't paying close enough attention to actually driving! I like to have the reassurance that I can get out of someone's way if I need to! Not spin my flinstone, rock tires and get nailed! I would compare driving a cobra to riding a bike. You can NEVER expect the drivers of other cars to be paying attention or see you. Always on your guard and aware of your surroundings! I want good tires not so I can tear up the streets with my "600hp," but to have a car that is inherently safer!
