Yep, would have agreed with you completely some time ago. However, after much trial and error, hours of brainstorming with other racers, I've come to realize that cyano on the sidewalls is a vital part of any tuning process under certain conditions. You're a pretty smart guy, I'm surprised you haven't figured out why.

As to your second point. And when the tire "tucks under" when the suspension is compressed ??????. Right, you got it.

Since you've developed a prejudice or a close mindedness towards the use of cyano, I'm not going to try to change your opinion. Funny, cause I had the same prejudice, but have moved on from that.
