That's exactly why the durometer rule doesn't work. If you do, it's got to be set a bit lower than what you want due to heat in tires, and sealing over of tires. I know it's only micro sprints, but the top 7 at US-24 this year got DQ'd for having to soft of tires, and according to the rules, the tires they were using should have passed.
