Exactly right, Pete.

Motorsport tyres have a completely different construction and are not designed for a compromise between road noise/comfort AND handling. A taller motorsport tyre will be designed with a stiffer sidewall etc to combat the fact that they are taller.

An interesting article, but road tyres are road tyres. Unless you just want to have a bit of fun, that's all they are.
