You're thinking of microspikes, and yeah they were rubbish!!
It's a fair point on part numbers i guess - we only control the rear tyre, so you would end up with 3 from both Schumacher and BB - there is no real reason (that i can think of) not to list them somewhere - but let's be fair and just use a little common sense. This is the good thing about this section, common sense usually prevails - from drivers and officials
, this isn't the case in all sections..............................
Many of you will know what i'm thinking of here...
As for competition, fair point to a certain extent. You have to strike a balence, and i don't think we're far out to be honest, but it depends on your region i guess. In ours, any commercially available tyre is allowed, and at our meeting last weekend i know there were ballistics, Schumaher, and GRP in use. This does get any other tyres out there and in use - so people get to find out what works and what doesn't. I think this works, but maybe not all regions are the same.

I have some Schumacher 'mini-spikes' in the garage that are more like USA tyres, square edges and a flat top. They never took off 'cos they were rubbish, but I 'should' technically be allowed to use them......
