I find that controlled tyres can actually increase cost for joe public rather than reduce.... might sound a bit odd, but if you said 2 sets per race and the tyres got marked before you raced, then you have to start out with a new set. A few have commented that at certain meeting they did not fit new tyres by choice. Racers must always chose how much they wish to spend, not be ruled into it.

So heres a thought..... limit sets per season, bit like engines in F1/motogp. Some tracks tries wear, some dont. Limits the maximum cost for all, but also means if you dont want to put on new tires, you dont have to.

For every event you get to sign in a max of 2 sets of tires (2wd or 4wd). They get marked and every time you run, you must have 20xx marked tires. Should you only sign in 1 set of tires at an race, the other set will roll onto the next race. If you make the A final, you are allowed 1 extra set of tyres, but this set is to be marked in a different way and can not be used again at a different race meeting.
