But practising using one singular known controlled tyre is still cheaper than practising with multiple tyre-insert combinations

Whilst that is true, past history has shown an overwhelming tendancy for clubs, sanctioning bodies etc to approve every new motor or battey of the month, without any real consideration of long-term effects.

When drivers believe they can gain an advantage by using some new as-yet-illegal device, then they whinge about it until it is approved, even if it is not in the hobby's best interest.

Of course, once the said item is legal - then everyone buys it - the status-quo is returned - and we are once again just alittle bit poorer
