The point is that people should buy whatever tire is better for them (which is probably the Hoosier). If we are going to buy tires based on the intentions of the company, we might as well stop racing foreign cars, and only use ones that are built in the USA.

BTW, we may be lucky that the V710 isn't available in 13+14" sizes, there have been cases of them falling apart on the track - and there's a rumor that they may have already been banned from NASA and SCCA club racing.
