The 1LE is a relatively uncompromising car. It's stiff, it tramlines, and it's slower in a straight line than a standard SS. If you don't enjoy the single benefit of those compromises, namely the excellent lateral capabilities, I don't understand why one buys the car.
Really? Because we don't track the car, we shouldn't buy an exceptional handling car that looks great? Not to mention, IF I do want to track the car, I can. It's not too difficult to change tires. If it's a daily driver, I see no issue with having a set of A/S tires, especially if you're in an area where it rains a lot.

Again, he asked about specific tires and those who own them. Not for an opinion about whether the tires are right or wrong or who should or shouldn't purchase a 1LE.
