I think your jumping the gun with this statement, not everyone; in fact not everyone from the few that have responded in this limited discussion; is onboard with a spec tire. I think some of you are making a fuss over a very small issue. Lets say this gets done and you have some tracks where the spec just does not work well? A 12th car that is not performing well is not much fun to drive imo, will this really grow the class? I have my doubts.

Also if a spec tire does not include a spec rim them it's useless as the performance of the rim has an impact on how the tire/rim performs. And I can already hear the complaints about how one rim has an advantage over everyone else.

Something else that has been ignored is that if a spec tire is the way to go it should not be chosen by a racer or two.
