Because they road test what you will get if you buy one, not a modified car. Its random some M3/4 win the Michlen lottery & some don't PS4S.
For Lightning Laps any optional tire that the car can be bought with from the list is used. Key there is the tire must be on the option list.
Non standard or non optional tires are a modification. So if my BMW comes home & I don't like the tires I can go out & spend $1500 for my personal choice of tires. Thats a modification which I have done.
The rabbit hole is you might spend $1500 for better tires while I might spend the $1500 for a JB4 & a tune. Just another type of $1500 modification.
Where does it stop to get a fair comparison of the car as delivered from the factory? As opposed to how fast can we make this car go for X dollars,
