At the end of every season i ended up with tyres that i could not use over the winter and lots of money tied up in tyres that would wait for next years nats to use them up.

Now as some will know when i am at a national i am not shy when it comes to fitting new boots, but i don't see this as actualy costing me any more than a tyre rule would that limted tyres. If i where to do the same amount of 1/10th scale racing year on year with a tyre rule v No tyre rule all that would hapen is i would use less new ones at nationals but more new tyres at regionals and club meetings/winter series as i would not have as many part worn ones to use from nats. Over the course of the year i would use the same amount of tyres. So to conclude we could make nationals cheaper but would it really make your racing cheaper over the course of a year?

cheers mate great to know that
