When we were looking for a control tyre to nominate for this experiment the criteria very much included - 1. Guaranteed availability - Austra;ian distribution. 2.Able to be sold at virtually any hobby store (not selected retailers ) 3. Sidewall marking.
4. Could be announced 6 months out from the title and still be available at Title time.

When we went looking we found out that the Proline Control K was teh only tyre that met these criteria and on that basis teh decision was made.

Now at this time I'm not saying the decision was right or wrong and I am very interested in the opinions of the drivers that attended the Qld Titles and raced on these tyres.

Seems there are two questions
1. What do you think of the control tyre idea for the Qld Titles
2. Was the tyre chosen a fair choice.
