So my question is would be running a control rubber F104 tires be the answer to evening out the playing field between all F1 chassis?

All the track width adjustment in the front is the arms,
103 rear wheels have more offset to bump the track out , but the rim is also wider, so its a double whammy. But that would be favoring Tamiya, so thats out of the question
