WTF...

really instead of writing all of that crap. all as he had to do was take one car. put size of tire "A" on first, see how many G's it pulled. then take the same compound and brand of tire just in a wider tire size of "B" and then see what it did.
Yes i agree with what you are saying, i looked back at the interview again and saw that there never was a controlled variable in those tests. Your procedure would have been alot more accurate and alot faster too, someone should run a test like the one you had described...
