Yeah... that's for load bearing, not performance... =)
The problem being, under highly "spirited" driving the front tires just fold over...
This picture illustrates how far over the tires were worn, after some track use. Cold (front tire) pressure 44, Hot pressure 50.5. This is too high a pressure for the street, unless one plans to do nothing but corners. With lower pressures on the track, the highly scuffed area would have come much further over onto the sidewall.

No way dude! You're copying me...
Heh, yeah right. =)
If you hadn't thrown some track knowledge my way about allroad tire setup, I'd still be plowing through corners on the front sidewalls, with the rear end buldging and hopping on every ripple... ;-)
