One can slide even on wide slicks. Question being - will that be as easy and at as low/safer speeds and in progressive fashion? One thing is getting rear out at 40kmh, another - at 100+kmh with 1g side G. Not each and every potential owner for these cars will be heavy track junkie with good skills. Not even majority of them. Hence why should manufacturer go with what minority may wish for slight savings at initial purchase (and track junkies may wear through quickly 1st tire set anyway, and also may have different preferences as to which tires are 'best' brand/model/width wise for track or daily use) and even more so that it's so easy to buy & use whatever tires you want if you don't like stock ones?
