exactly. but then if the tyres were more grippy, would they use more power? is it a bit of a limiting exercise?
i like the idea of hearing more than just the engine note - see the f1 sound, which is more complex if a bit less satisfying than it used to be. but it just feels a bit weird to be using those tyres. you can get tons of use out of a well-constructed slick, which is something michelin are pretty good at (eg the formula renault tyre).
