Don't agree with one specific tyre as a rule, cos if it turns out to be, for example, Pirelli Corsas, then i'll be staying in the pits making coffee!


Nick - not sure I agree, if it was any road tyre, then I could use soft Supercorsas (my preffered choice) if it was very dry and then D207RRs (or similar if it was damp) - I'd then need 2 sets of wheels.

Unless you're suggesting that one type is selected by each rider and then he (or she) has to stick with that tyre - but difficult to police.

Steve M's idea of 3 different tyres that you could chose from is more viable I reckon as this would be a predefined list created by the organisers and would probably be a single type of tyre from Bridgestone, Dunlop or Michelin (perhaps).
