cost is a red herring. You can pick up a part worn set for next to nothing and don't need warmers. Having discussed this a lot with seasoned racers and really experienced guys, thats my mind made firmly up.

But, the issue is not wets; its whether anyone will pick up the reigns and keep it going...or does it mean it becomes a Hottrax product and the end of DSC led series

for racers with a little experience it isn't too daunting a prospect I know, but for complete newbies it might be, in my first year of racing I spent so much money on **** that people told me I needed.

With the Dunlop Qualifiers no longer in production and the debate on wet / dry conditions, there must another solution. Possibly Dunlop KR364's or similar? I raced all my 400 years on these. They are mega in all conditions and are long lasting. Available in DD sizes. The issue is potentially cost as they are £240 a set retail but potentially Dunlop would do a deal to carry on supporting the series??

Tim, Dunlop have a replacement tyre coming that is not to different to what we have at the moment, same sizes, same compound, H-rated Carcass with the latest technology/thinking incorporated and a new tread pattern based on the SportSmart2
Oh Yea and about the same price

Prob same as when we changed from the Pirellis, you can use them for the first 3 rounds the next season then change.
