I just fall into the camp of most of us don't ride at the level of needing a supersport tire or our style of riding does not need a supersport tire.

I think it's funny to see riders with supersport tires with ultrasoft compounds on basically street commuters with 3.5" chicken strips on both sides talking about getting those tires cause they needed grip.
My chicken strips are about as small as they can get in my area. I'm probably not riding outside of the limits of a sport touring tire. But, if the benefits are minimal, why sacrifice the grip? That's my logic.
