Nascar says the reason they booted hoosier was safety? So how's it safer now?

Softer = Faster
Back when they had a choice between Hoosiers and Goodyears Geoff Bodine was winning poles on the softer Hoosiers forcing Goodyear to make softer tires which forced Hoosier to make softer tires which forced Goodyear to make softer tires.........you get the picture. Result was an increasing frequency of tire failures.
Competition between tire manufacturers may not be a good thing.
