Does anyone on track currently use them??

I'd like a better reason to use them than 'they are cheaper and more readily available'.

It is easy for a mainly silent minority to suggest a mainly silent majority is a clique, or maybe as has been suggested the majority are trying to protect a proven formula.??

But keep the tyre debate going, 5 years on it still remains healthy.

As long as the H rated Diablos are still available and the cost of them doesn't start to become that of super sticky rubber then I am all for keeping them as they work.

I would see no issue with allowing both the H and ZR if that helps to keep the supply up and the prices keen.

Personal preference is to allow wets, but that's just because I am **** in the wet on Diablos so it's purely selfish

although i have tyres warmers etc anyway I can't really see a benefit to them in DD whilst we are sticking with the sensible road tyres that heat up quick. I do think requesting an additional warm up lap would be a good plan, just for the psychological side if nothing else.
