No worries if you run the correct tire pressure.
In the same document, where it talks about FWD cars with independent rear suspension, it talks about benefit of using lower min. tire pressures, and gives a formula of dividing total weight with driver by 100 to reach at the safest minimum pressure. Well, I know it's under FWD section, but if this minimum safe formula applies to us as well, it would put us at 40 PSI cold to handle 4000 lbs. It really makes me wonder if we're abusing this tire with our fat cars :P After all, Hoosier is a very light tire which comes with lightweight steel belt-line.

Perhaps I am blowing it out of proportion. I will just send an e-mail to Hoosier and ask. If this tire works for our cars (R7 315), and if it lasts twice as long as R6s (which I hope), it might be an incredible deal for us and I'd love to try a set. It is about $450 cheaper than Trofeo Rs for a set as well.
