I don't think anyone would disagree with that, unless it turns
out that the tread pattern is life threatening.

Since we're on car analogies, there are two ways to make
an old, heavy model go faster. You can put in a larger engine,
possibly reshape the front to achieve this, enlarge the fuel
tank to compensate for the loss of range, and replace the shocks.
This usually results in worse handling, and increased running
costs.

Alternatively, you could replace the body with modern materials
which reduces it's weight.
