We put NON DOT tires on our cars for better performance. OK, some of us do it for looks.
It is obvious higher performance NON DOT tires are better than their street cousins.
How is it that those tires (admittedly better) than the $60.00 Firestones or whatever, are a disqualifier for insurance.
I undestand they don't have a DOT sticker on them. Many that did were deemed to be not good tires in the past. Remember Ford Explorer and the tire problems that car had?
I guess I don't get it. This is a good study of government regulations run a muck.

Better tires are NOT allowed on our cars!!

If they were not better, racers would be sneaking around and using DOT street tires on the track.
