For those of you who don't understand the basic tenets of science, it involves evidence, both observational and experimental. Most of my questions involve the utter lack of either. That doesn't mean I'm "opposed" to anything, just that I won't do it myself without the type of evidence that satisfies my skeptical mind. Feel free, but do not accuse me of being closed-minded or a know-it-all. Doing so mostly serves to expose your ignorance of the scientific method and critical thinking.

Now, if you've actually done traction tests, using identical bikes and techniques, or you've done contact patch analysis, including deformation studies and side-load testing, I'd love to hear about it. The claim about stopping faster than any stock-tired bike is a big one, and as such requires big evidence. Until then, most of what you've told me seems to be speculation and guessing. Of course, I could be wrong.
You are closed minded.
There,................I accused YOU of being closed-minded !
Hey. I'll go back into my cave.
Sorry to bother you.

Ride safe...........and often.
