That's comical. Every production car is built with constraints, and one of the reasons the tires and alignment are the way they are is to build in understeer so less skilled/experienced drivers don't get in over their heads. I agree that rake and diameter should remain similar to stock, but the width is less than ideal for track/handling and that is not an issue up for debate. No offense, but if you follow your logic you could never change a single thing about your car without downgrading it from the holy grail of perfection that left the factory.

Every quick guy at the track runs wider than stock front/rear unless budget keeps them from it.

If you're pleased with stock sizes then that is perfectly fine, but don't spread misinformation that running wider tires somehow causes ill-handling etc. when in fact the opposite is true.
