That 'edge' is what takes many to the extreme to improve their time.
One possibility to discourage the purchase & use of new tyres is to have a tyre rule that states the only new tyres allowed are 'blues' (or whatever). This then allows everyone to use up ANY old tyres in their box.
But how to police this? How about drivers themselves point out any NEW tyres on the grid, before a heat/final and race control's decision is final. If in doubt, take your tyres to Race Control for a decision before putting them on the car.
Too complicated? What do you think?
