Oh hell no.
Recaps were fine for a car that would top out at 60 under ideal conditions. We have roads in Oklahoma right now that the legal speed limit is 80, and most drivers are pushing that limit.
Semis still use them, and I wish they were illegal. I had a 18 wheeler shed a tread as I was passing it. I was in my 914 with the roof off at the time and that tread went right over my head and landed in on the shoulder and the road right behind me. I missed death be just a few feet.
