Oh well then I guess that explains it. With a stickier tire (r-compound), you want the stiffest sidewall possible, in most scenarios, that tire is going to stay planted regardless. With a street tire, your right, some give is better! I agree. In fact, my first season of autox I ran on a low pro tire and did fairly well with it, but after a friend of mine gave me a pair of used slicks, I could never go back!

Just look for the purple streak.... that's me!
