No matter when it is, coming back later to "tighten things up" is always fraught with pissing and moaning to which you'll be adding the opportunity for "but I already have these". Great, run 21.5, etc, but for stuff they're going to have to buy anyway just bite the bullet and go. If they've been running rubber TC for any time at all they've been exposed to spec tires so this should be nothing really new.
We are fighting the 21.5 vs 25.5 fight at our track right now. It has not been fun and we have several racers that are threatening to leave. Our issue is that there is a track about an hour away that races opposite weekends as us and we don't want to discourage then from joining us or our racers going there. But some people are having a hard time understanding that.

A simple VOID security sticker would be the most inexpensive route. And the best route would use engraved endbells. But the engraved endbell would increase the price of the motor.
