MODERATORS
Radial velocity of the tires would have to increase to keep the same linear velocity. This would put more stress and heat on them which would increase the chance for failure.
They went from 13 to 18 with slower cars surely they could deal with the reduction?
They could if one of two things happens: they better engineer tires to withstand the increased heat or they introduce certain caps on speed.
