Rather harsh,

i've found that Nanobytes are far superior on carpet to minipins

Schuey yellows are useless on all damp astro where A compound Multibytes work on some astro types and the B compound are rumoured to be better than Ballistic Greens on some tracks.

dBoot SCT tyres are far better than Schuey minipins, with also lasting over twice as many meetings on the same surface.

Tyres working well or not depend on car set up, power being put through them and driving style as well as compound/surface matching

Some drivers/cars will find certain types work well on a given surface and others won't.

Its better to be able to change to different tyre patterns and try other compounds then to be stuck with a monopoly on one pattern and limited compounds for the reasons above.

It's certainly not as easy as just saying they are crap... how about you didn't find they worked for you at a particular track/set up?

they are not crap... glad we are allowed to run them in our region as it's an extra weapon of choice.
