for 40 euros, I would expect the tires were at least balanced...

In Italy we have two associations:
AMSCI (member of EFRA adn IFMAR) :
each year a tyre type is chosen (Much More for 2007)
UISP (member of CONI which is member of CIO - Comité international olympique):
free tyres for the "Unlimited" class and for the "Sport" Class (19 T or 10,5 BL); Medial PRO for the "Junior" class (27T)

here in France we are using Nosram Vtec30R since two year. Next year, new type of tyre will be choosen but still premount/glued type. We also have a limitation of two sets of tyres for the national race weekend.
Price for a set of tyre is about 30€ so i think it's a really good solution because it allow to limit the cost of the race and verey driver have the same conditions.

Thank you all,
I this very interesting. Didnt realise so many countries used them. Specially surprised with Italy.
So, if understand right control tyre is used in:
UK - RP 30
Greece - LRP 30
Austria - CS 27
Denmark - Sorex 28/36
Netherlands - CS 27
Switzerland - CS 27
France - not sure but i think is Medial Pro
Germany - i think is LRP 30
The only exceptions i remember are Spain and Portugal.
Being used to run without control tyre, i have to agree with you. I have to stock dozens of tyres, because you never know what will work on a particular race day.
And off course, a lot of practice and setup time is wasted trying to figure out what tire works best. Sometimes the weather changes, and then you have to change tyres and setup.

As I mentioned on my post, starting next season, Spain will have control tires as well... We use to have them in the past, but since a couple of years ago, we were running free, even foams...

I'm not sure, as "o pessoal" met after last national event, but new rules are not yet published on www.aecar.org. I heard about the new rule speaking with gonzo, a former national champion.
