You can call me whatever you want. It doesn't change the fundamental fact that open late models corner faster than crate late models and accelerate faster than crate late models. None of this could physically occur if it weren't for increased friction between the tires and the track. That's a scientific fact.
To put it in layman's terms, a tire that isn't wearing isn't working. Yes you can abuse a tire and wear it faster due to wasted energy (like wheel spin) but tire wear is the RESULT of friction and if there is no friction there is no grip. A tire that isn't wearing or never increases temp is not providing optimal grip. You need more grip to accelerate faster and turn faster. More grip means more friction. More friction means more tire wear. This really isn't rocket science. Tire wear is not a bad thing in racing. If your tires aren't wearing then you aren't using them for grip, you're just rolling on them. That's why tires that are too hard last so long...because they aren't working (friction) and therefore aren't wearing.
Call a tire manufacturer and tell them that you want to go faster on the same compound and not wear it as fast and let us know when the laughter subsides...I'll wait.
