Why do they offer you 2 sets to qualify when there's 4 rounds, then another set for the mains, and ANOTHER set for making the A. We all know if you want to compete you have to buy ALL these tires.

Not to mention, for TRUE race trim practice, you need to put on a new set every two practice runs, because that's what you will do when you race. $25 every 2 packs for the "privateer". Do the math, your hardly saving money...
Brandon,

It's true that you spend just as much money on tires as you may have before, but what you need to keep in mind is, at least its a tire that probably works instead of some combination that you thought would work and now you have a $40.00 set of tires that most likely don't work anywhere.

So, do you still think you're not saving any money?
