Wasn't saying that only tech should be relied on, tires (compound types?) are also very important.

However when it comes to tire figures (charts), this is pretty irrelevant given the conditions of the roads today.

Thstone's charts/figures are usefull on a track associated with a diff abrasivity type, and I am sure this is what only matters to him anyway. However on a bumpy, oily, wet, street, you can kiss the manufacturers for their ABS technologies being somehow more effective than the dumb rubber.
