The rule requiring tires to maintain certain grooove dimensions after a run was written before the one tire, one race rule. Back then, the concern was that someone would come out with a tire that transformed itself into slicks shortly on being used.
But at present, tire wear is such a concern, expect to see that rule discarded, because the FIA obviously are not enforcing it, nor are any teams complaining.

There would be uproar if they were on Schuey's car though!

Well im sorry to get to this topic so late but...

How can some of you people think that the tyres require groves at the end of (or during) the race if they are only allowed a single set of tyres? If they had to replace the tyres during the race there would be serious trouble!
