Probably reflective of most ZL1 owners

Yep, so even the die-hards would not drive Cup2 on the street So these really race tires and in many ways not relevant to streetcars, as most normal (anybody with common sense and not made of money) drivers are not on the public roadway with Cup2s. Hence I wish that these performace test be done with 220 minimum wear summer tires.

Even with the YT crowd they'd have to be careful about what they post and what videos they put up as Frdo will likely use it against them to get out of paying up when something inevitably blows the hell up.

That would be my view also.
