Anyone ever drive a car with a spacesaver spare tire? Did you adjust your driving accordingly? How about a new Cayman R with a slow leak in the right-rear tire, leaks to 10psi? Drive your 1967 El Camino SS 100 miles on the freeway at 85mph to buy a used refridgerator & drive 85mph back home? Are any of these vehicles unsafe to drive? Does the driver need to make adjustments to their driving style to allow for the reduced capability of their vehicle? A driver should never exceed the capability of their vehicle or driving skill. It's like building a race engine: the weakest link will break first. Tires are no different, if you choose to downgrade the handling capability of your car you must adjust your driving to suit the weakest link.
