That wasn't what I read. What I read was that his opinion was that if you
wanted to run ST tires, you could just run them (on your stock class car)
since the rules don't prohibit them. That argument obviously completely
misses the point.

Switch it around... Don't allow R tires in stock. All the folks that
want to run R tires have a place to do so... SP.
Similar situation, and similar reasons why someone might not want to do
that. If anything the "run SP" argument has a little more weight because
there are two more SP classes than ST classes, and thus more options for
the 'right' vehicle for a particular class.
There are lots of valid arguments to both sides of this. I just think
that pointing out that folks that want to are allowed to run ST tires in
stock classes is silly.
