Yea, the rules committee has a tough job. They have to put into black and white a simple to read rule that covers every situation, for every Porsche and every driver in every situation. It is an impossible task. Some rules, get a bit arbitrary just to make it a simple yes or no situation. No helmet, no driving on a track.

For many years I participated in the autocross at Parade. I was never willing to drive on the highway a long way on autocross tires, and always have had street tires that are good in the rain. I get to autocross and the top competitors all had DOT tires, but tread wear zero gummy autocross tires. It is an insurmountable advantage. I sent letters and several other members that actually drove their cars to Parade did as well. They finally realized, the real point pf Parade is for car owners to drive to parade and compete. The race cars are on trailers.

Now that the only decent street tires I can find are 17s, they relented, and street tires with a tread wear of 180 or higher, in stock sizes are all I can do without getting bumped up a class. So I have to get some 15 inch tires just to compete in autocross. I want a second set of tires almost as much as I want diarrhea.
