Why can't they see this. The engines will last longer with a narrow tire in the rear. Again to heck with compounds. But you can not cheat width of a tire. RPM's will be a device to cheat and you are back where you started. I thought we were trying to save them money. It's not going to happen in the IRL and it will not happen here.
