I think some clubs need to implement Control tyres and buy in bulk and sell them to members.
I know there is at least 1 guy running 60 ds which are about $30 a Pair plus inserts which is just too pricey.
It also levels the playing field then and leaves it to Setup and driving.
I know how tight it is and is even tighter now that where i worked had to tighten their belt and lay off staff.
any way just my 2 cents worth.
Cheers

Daza,
I have also tried the 60d's and didn't like them. I also managed to run the fastest lap at both the last two meets last meet with Team Power 36's, and the meet before with 32's, so I wouldn't consider the 60d's give any unfair advantage that needs to be ironed out.
I gave my 60d's to a guy, who loved them and was running up the front, and they didn't show any signs of wear from a whole meet.
Also the mini tires last for at least three meets, so it isnt so much of a problem if a set of tires cost alittle more when divided by at least three.
Anyway, the tyres are only $18 a pair plus rims and inserts, so not sure where the 30 a pair was from! Total with rims and insetrst is 51.50 from Feral, cheaper than your tyres!!
I think you would find that different tyres suit different styles, and people should be able to choose, however the people that can drive would still be winning if there was a control tyre.
