Exactly my feelings. The low profile tires work well for the track. Not so good for street vehicles.

Yesterday picked up a 2" screw right in the center of my rear tire with only 2,000 miles on it. Limped 75 miles back to home dealer. Got me right in and out. $349 tire and $156 labor. My charge $0! Just got my coverage paid for. Crazy risky to ride in Michigan without coverage.
