Well Ciro, my IP is available to anyone. You can check it if you want or ask the moderators to do so. I only have this account here.
Your example of the tread is true, but you are ignoring that they were comparing two identical brands and models. Well, by the amount of bold text you're using and the amount of irony about good brands and good tires you are using (and also knowing your posting style), I can say you are either trying to play Mr. Funny Guy that thinks everyone else is a sucker for spending on such an inexisting thing as "safety and quality differences" or you want to somehow convince yourself and others those things aren't real. Or both of them.
It surprises me as someone that races and seems to have a deeper knowledge in car physics than the average guy who couldn't differentiate between a set of tarmac tires and a set of mud tires is trying to put tires as all the same or something that a set "macho arms" can always get around. Well, it doesn't surprise me that much after all. It's actually quite a common attitude.
Saying a set of widely common Pirellis is Louis Vitton and excellent is also laughable. You know very well the tires I was referring are their simplest and cheapest ones, not even close to the PZeros that are the top of the range. Stop playing the poor Latin American guy, no one will believe you. Everybody knows how expensive karting is, specially around here. Putting my "gandma" on the middle of it was also uncalled for, specially considering an ex-moderator. Together with your bragging about of your amazing driving skills that can transform chinese tires into PZeros I feel like I'm on a teenager motion picture like Fast and Furious! Wow, teach me how to beat the 1000 hp Supra with your 30 hp Yugo again!
Obviously comparing two equal tires will give the advantage in the rain to the newer one. Obviously an average new tire will be better when new in the rain then a completely worn better tire. Obviously there's no law that says that when you have a better tire you need to use it treadless, you just replace it like every other tire (Holy s***! Tell WikiLeaks about that!).
Obviously the guy at your back may not be able to stop, but then again you might have saved that pedestrian and the guy who crashed at your back is the one legally responsible for anything that might happen because he didn't manage to brake. And obviously you can't make up for a tireless, breakless Yugo just with your inhuman abilities. Not the best driver in the world would simply because they can't make brakes or tires grow.
The also pretty obvious point is that if you can manage to escape an accident overcoming a lack of good brakes or tires then you could do it even better and in even more situations with a better equipment. That's why a better tire is of so much importance, it will allow you to further escape by braking or turning. It might even be able to brake you fast enough to do a safe evasive move so that the Yugo in your back can have time to brake as well, instead of just throwing the car on the opposite sense lane at any time and then creating a much larger accident and ending up blamed for it.
No, the officer won't believe you when you say you have super abilities and can use the opposite lane because of it. The you're not alone phrase could be perfectly aimed at you in that situation.
Anyway, I think that's enough of stating of the obvious and going off-topic. Let's stop before you make another joke about my car or my driving abilities or my stupidity by spending more than the generic chinese brand tires would because the difference is not real and a set of "macho" arms can make them into F1 slicks. All of that wrapped in a fake package of irony and innocence to say that you are kidding at the end and that all the bragging is just to make fun (though I doubt you would accept anyone's else bragging, specially if from outside Latin America). Then you will do 300 situational and wording jokes to cover up and might start talking about communism and other stuff as good as your reasoning about safety, tires and brakes when it all goes down. We would engage endless and pointless discussion until the topic would be locked.
So, now that I have anticipated all that, better stop. In any way the conversation goes there's a physical impossibility to prove a better tire in equal conditions is not better.

Pirelli are on safe ground if people are told why the tyres are going off. Its an FIA mandate at the end of the day.
That sums up the original subject quite well. The average viewer may actually like the brand if it's giving better races, and not care much about pure performance or durability.
I've been censored by a moderation team that rather see people dying and being shot at terrorist attacks than allowing people to speak the truth. That's racist apparently.
God made Trump win for a reason.
I can't measure the grip a pirelli will give me vs a Dark horse or Triangle or a Goodyear. I can only measure the price tag.
