The streets are not, so your assumption may be correct, but I would be more inclined to base any hypothesis on the matter on poor road conditions when riding at the limit on the streets than running out of tire.
I believe this happened in the clovers and afterwards he went back and checked to find no sand or anything on the road that wouldn't be on a track.
but its may have been a different time... Kenny will let me know if I'm wrong lol.
it is very possible to run out of lean angle on street tires, while street riding. when doing steady state cornering, like clovers, where you work your speed up and even can over heat a tire. Vince chucked the shit out of a qualifier front out there once. dogbone posted a long time ago, what angle each tire is rated for. track tires being way more then street tires.
p.s i hate those damn clovers. i have always rode them like a puss and didn't even want to show matt and his friends that night, but we were bored. i was worried they would crash while out there... lucky none of them ever did.
