I thought they aren't legal only until Nationals. After Nationals, they are legal, no?
The point is, they are not legal NOW (don't know about the after nationals thing)!

Ken is one of the ancient Pokemon. He is to be respected above all.

Illegal all year, unless it meets some other of the allowances:
"13.3 TIRES
B. No tire models will be approved for competition during the rest
of the year after April 30 of each calendar year."
The National Rule book is really only required for national events (Divisionals, Tours and Nationals). But without further allowance we follow SCCA rules for classing.

We're lucky to have someone like Ken who can be the first to test new Kuhmo products locally, and who isn't worried about being protested at a local event. We also benefit from having people that know the rules. ;)
Correction ... it was Kyle that was given the new XS's to test. Ken Who?

Oh no, I was totally kidding! Didn't mean anything serious by it.
Although if you'd like revenge, I have a feeling that Frotto Motonishi will be at San Diego with his "cheater: tires. He might even talk Kyle into letting him use the 15s, since Kyle will be in a REAL sports car, and not a Honda generator with wheels.
