Motorsports has it. Even running shoes have it!
IMHO, BRR, AeroCoach, and Internet Forums are fueling "Tire Wars". The just announced Veloflex Record TLR has almost HALF the rolling resistance of the Continental 4000S II, a tire many here cut their teeth on.
There is even precedent for this. Historically, the UCI has had no problem banning technology it deems gives a competitor an unfair advantage.
Lastly, when all else is said and done, the grip, puncture resistance, etc., of a tire is a safety issue.
What do you think, or is the Cognoscenti doomed to a perpetual rat race?
