I find it kind of ironic that many of us here (including yours truly) have *****ed about the fact that the majority of these manufacturers either build a crappy tire, or the tires don't handle/grip very well on our short wheelbase, over-powered chassis (perhaps Yokohama and definitely the uber expensive Avon's being the lone exceptions). And now that most are putting their tire molds into storage, we're all up in arms!
Maybe this is the cleansing that was needed so that someone with cajones will step up and fill the void with a REAL radial that handles like no other, but priced somewhere between a $150 BFG and a $250+ Avon?
"Goodyear Racing....paging Goodyear Racing....ditch those 40 year old bias plys and give us a RADIAL in the same sizes and with those big beautiful white letters. It's free advertising, Goodyear. Oh yeah, and make them blackwall on one side for those that would rather have it that way. How hard can this truly be?"
