Leon, I think you are missing the point here. I don't beleive ANY "for profit" company will ever again build LSR tires. Two years ago M/T were ready to ship tires to about 30 of us. The very day they were to ship, The lawyers for the new parent company, Cooper Tire, took a look at the six page release that each of us had signed, and said NFW. They said there are NO RELEASE FORMS that would clear them or any other Company from liability in a court of law. I am not sure, but I think that Arctic Tundra Tire received the same advice from their lawyers. Perhaps a foreign entity could avoid this problem, I don't know. This I do know, unless we, the racers, get a grip on this, the days of cars running over 300 are limited. I don't forsee the need for these tires personally, but I care about this sport more than anything I have ever done, and I don't think some people understand just how dire this situation is......................
