The poll is only for a make/manufacturer Kev not the model of that manufacturer, as such is of no use.

I wouldn't say it was of No use

ideally you need to decide on a make before you consider model
Say the majority wanted to race on Mezelers then they would need to be approached to see if they had a tyre suitable for the series that could be used both wet and dry, if they haven't then there is no point in getting in to deeper discussions with them.
Firstly you need to know which tyre manufacturers will support a single tyre option, in 2005 we found One such company after several were approacehed following a riders meeting held early that year.

If nobody wants to use say Continentals then wold there be much point in discussing the issue with them.
If the majority want to stay with Pirelli and they specify a tyre from there range that is suitable then why wouldn't we want to use it.

Fair point.

Kev,

The book I was reading on the train this afternoon, was all about the Maserati 250F racers from the 50s, it seems they had tyre problems back them.

Interesting thing is that we apear to have missed their favorite brand off your list:- ENGLEBERT

Perhaps we could resurect that famous name

[antonye]

Ching Shen?
I thought it was a budget series...

with your joking and Antony's swearing (same as mutley748's text to me earlier, best I don't reply in the same way here)
It almost makes CBs suggestion sensible
But I thought Englebert was a singer of sorts and I don't mean a sewing machine, maybe he made tyres in his spare time
