I knew this was coming, but was hoping they would stay through '12 with the new car. You want the tires to be a constant when rolling out a new car. Now you have develop a new tire AND new car. Easier to just have to focus on one.

From what I have been reading, racing just doesn't fit into their marketing anymore. They say they aren't selling enough tires given the money they are putting into racing. I think they are going to focus more on stick and ball sponsorship. Sad thing of all is people are going to be out of job.
