Generally in any business if you buy in large enough volume you are given a discount. Kinda of like going to Sam's and buying a case of 60 rolls of TP its a lot cheaper than the Kroger's 6 pack.
If a track wants a tire rule they should be the ones to "sell" the tire to the racer and at a better price than the racer could buy it anywhere else. Leave the other 3 tires to the tire dealers. I would think the tire rule was there as a service to both the racer (price) and the track (rule control) and should be considered a loss leader.
If that old tire was hard as heck and lasted half a season the dealer wouldn't want to mess with it anyhow.
Any rule that takes 2 or 3 weeks to enforce is asinine and does not need to exist. Retribution for rule infringement needs to be swift and sure. Letting something go on for weeks would only creates problems and generates response on IOW reaching close to 30,000 hits.
