For the last time you don't need a tyre truer. Just stick them on, its really easy.
Cut them to width with knife. Stretch over wheel. Stick a screwdriver inbetween the tyre and wheel. pour in glue, rotate screwdriver around the wheel. Pull out screwdriver. Job done.

Well, that explains everything then - YOU want to only have to buy one set of tires to run at three tracks, meanwhile overlooking the other Batley guys that will have to go out and buy foams just to race you.
For the last time you do need a tyre truer. The last "stick 'em on, it's easy" guy died sometime back in the mid 1980s.

And it would turn into a tyre-buying contest - just like in 12th scale - with guys truing them down to thing little strips and making one-run tyres.... and then any supposed savings scenario goes right out the window with a bunch of tyre dust.
