Matt I'm all for control tires, I also remember the days of carrying box's of tires and it wasn't fun
All I'm doing is asking questions about information freely available on the internet. If motors and cells are measured to the nearest mm, then why are tires allowed to be so random/poor, yet in off-road it is my opinion that grip is the defining factor of pace, therefore tires is the most important factor. If speed was we would all be running 2.5T motors
I don't care what the control tire is, but would prefer it to be a quality, consistent product at a nice price. At the moment I don't believe we have any of that and I don't think I am the only one. I also get the feeling that people are starting to realise this and are going to start doing something about it
