It probably wouldn't be if Michelin or others ponied up the cash to satisfy NASCAR or IMSA. IMSA in the ALMS days had no problem with open tire in their non-spec car classes.

Oh, yeah, some of those guys went to Le Mans, and IMSA gave something of a damn about the ACO's prototype regs. Most of your current prototype and GTD teams don't have such aspirations. Between that and paying for the privilege, Continental gets away with being the spec tire in those classes.
