[QUOTE="Snagged, post: 15772518, member: 15840"] I get the stock definition debate. It's hard logically, for me at least, to say anything you change to the car delivered from the factory is not modded in some way. That would include the tires. When you start talking about tires it gets to be a slippery slope because of all the traction types out there, so it's nice to consider that as something modded to the car. Factory stock to me is how it comes from the factory. When you say tires aren't considered a mod you start to get to some ambiguity. Which I've seen guys say they are completely stock and show up to a race with full out slicks and want to run from a dig. I get the other side of things too. If you fan of a particular brand and that brand sticks some pretty horrendous tires on the car from the factory, then you are going to want to switch out the tires for better traction. Once doing that you don't want to say you modded the car, but simply did what that factory should have done in the first place. Or perhaps you are racing against a Demon with the drag radials and you're in a Z06. The guy in the Z06 is going to want to have the same tires on his car too but the Z06 doesn't have the drag radials from factory. So it would be considered a modded Z06 vs. stock Demon. That too sounds misleading because when someone says modded you might think of a different pulley size, cams, intake... In this case it's just a simple tire swap. No matter what side you are on though, it's good to be completely transparent as possible to avoid any kind of miscommunication. Sometimes when you don't consider tires as a mod people can take advantage of the ambiguity. Just some of my .02 on the matter. [/QUOTE]
