Narrow, high profile, 13", 4+ G's, WOW! Why don't these guys get into the R-Compound, hobbyest market, I am sure they can teach the competitors a thing or two. They will be out of F1 at the end of this year(or so they claim.)

They *were* in the DOT-R market. They used to make an RE71R model tire. It was very good. And way expensive. And quite competitive with the A008R... and then Yokohama came out with the A008RSII with an even softer compound, and BFG released the original R1 with the asymmetric sidewall construction, and the RE71R seemed to go the way of the do-do...
I'm not sure if they ever had another DOT-R after that?
