Weekly tracks were involved in this decision. At least three of them are the ones who got this ball rolling. Can't imagine all Indiana tracks not going with the same tire rule to keep things consistent. Paragon being the exception because they are an open tire track. This new tire is a little harder than an HT2 so it should hold edges better and be able to run a few times. It is also not a cambered tire so it can be flipped, according to the Hoosier rep I spoke to at PRI. Maybe with a narrower and harder tire the tracks won't seal over and rubber up. Trying to look on the bright side of this change. There will be positives to come out of it!
