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).

yeah, I was sort of thinking out loud really.

I reckon the best suggestion so far is a small selection of similar tyres which would be not significantly better be it wet or dry, therefor eliminating the need for spare wheels.

But let's see what the powers-that-be come up with.
