So, I first thought this thread was a joke, you know, sarcasm. But I'm starting to believe that you guys really believe the solution is to run rock hard tires that last a season.

We tried that back in the 80s. We were required to run 65 durometer Goodyears. You couldn't modify them in any way. No grooving. No siping. You couldn't "wear one out", but that didn't keep the teams that could afford it, from buying a new tire nearly every week. Even though you couldn't wear one out, it didn't mean you couldn't seal one over. A new tire did perform better than the sealed one, even though the tread wear was negligible. Plenty of pull offs for those of us on a budget. But you couldn't get a hold of the track unless it was during a rainstorm.

You see, whatever scheme you come up with, them that's got are them that gets. And I ain't got nothin yet.
