The manufacturers dont put there tyres forward, the clubs and committee nominate them.

As far as touring cars go, having a control tyre helps in so much that you know what to go out and buy, you also run the risk of running out of that tyre, but, the manufacturer shouldn't put their tyres forward as a control tyre if they can't meet the demand.

In the SPC, you've got 4 or 5 different possible F1 car's, and you have a range of control tyres to choose from, which helps in one instance, but can confuse the situation, and cost quite a bit (however most the suppliers have offered the tyres at a reduced cost).

All I can suggest to do now, with foams being banned, and everyone having to go to rubbers, is to buy your tyres now if you're worried you won't get any in time.
