If track drivers don't feel like purchasing replacment OEMs for price or low durability, they'll then have a traction and stabilty system that is no longer optimized for their tires.

I agree 100% with your comment, and is probably why it has numb steering so the driver doesn't feel from the tramlining of the front wide tires while following all groves on bad roads.
