Mark,
1. I have heard that Fedral tire regulations may tighten down on this wear 
rating.  It can always be increased.
2. I have been told by the ST drivers that their tires last longer than the 
Kumhos so your cost per run goes down.

Currently your only looking at maybe a 1 or 2 second increase in time for lets 
say say a GS car. 
 
As the 140+ rubber is developed I would expect that difference to drop. 
 
Then what? 
 
Keep in mind the 140 stamped on the side of the tire means nothing.
