Re: launch hero?
launch is controlled by air pressure and tire patch contact along with sidewall flex. the less grooves in the tread allow more contact with the pavement but less than ideal control in the wet. sidewall fles allows the torque to reach the ground rather than spin the tire off the pavement but this means a soft sidewall doesnt handle well in the turns and wears much faster.
in short if you want a drag style tire you buy one. if you want a all season road tire you buy that. theres very few if any tire that meets all criteria
