Is why drag radials don’t work for a proper street car. There’s always a trade off.
Then there’s price too which unfortunately does play a factor.

You are right about cornering. I should have been more specific.

My commentary was only as applies to straight line acceleration. Lower profiles will typically improve cornering but at the expense of straight line acceleration and vice versa.
