Nope the world isn't ending but if the BFG'S and Hankooks were just as good as the toyo, they would have ran them in hopes of winning and getting contingencies money. Now at the wilmington tour some did run BFG tires and Hankooks, but if I knew that those other tires were just as good I would have run them if I were a top sts car/driver but all ran a tire that paid nothing. Seems a little strange to me that no one ran any thing but toyos if the other tires were truly as good.

Why would you not run the Toyos at nats? You know they are good at Lincoln, they are proven, and you most likely already have them and are set up for them.

Why did it take 3+ years before everyone gravitated to the Toyos if they are so clearly better?
