Hopefully racers would also then practice with older tyres to see how they perform rather than a new set for each practice run.
I agree with you, but there has been a lot of resistance to limiting tyre quantities. A rule proposal to limit quantities for 17.5 was rejected by the clubs earlier this year. It seems that a lot of people in racing enjoy spending money! While its not the only reason I dont attend many state titles (work usually gets in the way) there is no way that I could afford to do more than a few control tyre events each year.
