Why is this a problem now?

If others can "cheat" then so can bmw. And I dont get the fear that M3 is going to be faster than a 911 around N-ring. Noone is going to cancel or sell their 911's becuase of this.
I don't believe that BMW is cheating either. Comparative tests should be conducted on the same type tire; that's all. Any other test is unfair.

You are right, most late model cars have run the Ring on CUP tires. The 911S has not.
