My bet is that with the range of adjustment his suspension gives him, he probably can't get the car to keep that tire down without going slower. At autocross speeds, sometimes lifting a tire doesn't hurt you since you're basically going around the corner in a controlled spin anyway... more tire isn't really going to help, in fact it could be construed as "drag". I know that's what the FWD guys think... they want to lift a rear tire 'cause it lets the car turn!
