Make it a compound rule. There is to much money tied up in exclusive contracts with each tire company, and that's where the problem is. Tire companies are here to sell tires, that's all. If they make 10 compounds, that's fine, and we should run what we want. The tire rule isn't saving anybody any money cause the big dollar teams are still bolting a new one on all the time anyway. I don't blame Hoosier for doing what they are doing, but think about this for a minute. Hoosier tires on a winged car were pretty much non-existent until they got with Lasoski for part of the year, and then Kinser signed on for a few years. If Goodyear had it all tied up, everybody would be riding the wings of Goodyear.
Tire wars help everybody, promotes better racing, better prices, and a better tire for everybody to use.
