Every single person who I've talked to this about has brought up that point.
I counter with: look at SCCA racing. Show me a single autocross car that wins with stretched tires. Show me a single GT team that runs stretched tires. There aren't any, because grip is king.
Drifters run crap sizes because drifting doesn't require as much grip as all-out tracking. Argue all you want, but it's the truth. Why do you think you can get by with like 225s and more than three degrees of negative camber?
You want more feel? Run more solid bushings and spherical bearings.
