The last I had heard it was down to two Firestone and Hoosier. This was due to performance and how long the tries were lasting.
I'm for a tire rule, but just because there's a tire rule doesn't mean that it's less expensive on the wallet or the tires last longer. I'll hold out my compliments on the tire rule once it's proved the tires will last 5-6 races, be readily available to everyone, and not cost twice what others do. In addition, its nice to know all those other tires that USAC clubs have are now worthless immediately.
