Now if you get rid of the tire rule to compete you have to have atleast 9 right rears with different compounds to get it right depending on what the track does. Obviously some people won't do that and some races won't matter as boss sorta polices itself same with Paragon but if you are competing for wins at an MSCS race, USAC race, or any bigger show your tire bill just tripled.

Your not talking BRAND X only, Your talking compound and I feel a mandated hardness is perfectly fine. It evens up big and small teams a bit. Can last longer.

But Brand Y guy who can save enough over a season or has brand Y sponsorship and can pocket enough over a season to rebuild a motor. WHY WOULD HE RUN A TRACK THAT MANDATES BRAND X on all four corners?

Whats next, Brand x shocks only? Brand X steering wheel, Brand X seat, Brand X wheels?
