To be honest I think just saying you can buy them on the day is a bit crap.
Infact no, its a lot crap. I don't want to have get to the venue find the person selling the tyres, probably have to queue up if all the people at teh event want to buy tyres, then to sit and start gluing tyres up and messing around with them.
I'd much rather buy tyres from my local model shop, sit and glue them up in my own time and turn up having run them knowing what to expect. I mean how fair is it to have a controlled tyre that only a few team drivers have used.
And what happens if they don't bring enough and they run out, can I run whatever I want as its not my fault. I think if 140 ish people all want 2 sets for 2 and 4 wheel drive thats somewhere near 600 pairs of rears alone!
As tyres are the most important part of a cars set up this is becoming a joke. What inserts are best? How many rows of spikes do we cut off, if any? which run will be the best. For me, I know the answers to these questions for schuy tyres. If I have to spend time working this out for these new tyres this event is going to be about the tyres and not about the racing.
