I only wish it would be feasibly to have a controlled traction compound or no traction compound to reduce luggage space and testing time as well. I must be missing something as I really don't understand what the fuss is about over controlling wide ranging items like tyres in our sport.

just a question why arent foams considered ? more grip less fu#*n around and half the price , and better wear
the same brand and shore could be used, no different to rubber rules and again half the price.
And also it becomes extremely expensive when you have to buy tyre warmers and all the other crap that goes along with rubber tyres to try and compete with the big boys
and whats the good of keeping a tyre the same for the whole feild when different motors can be used 4.5, 3.5 or brushed motors
i know someone is going to say because a particular company sponsored the event, but im just pointing out some things seeing a few people have said its good to make everyone use the same tyre , just doesnt make sence even down to different packs making a huge differance.
