The Speedster is a very good tire, we have never had them "fall
off" in a session. The things just work, and are far
better than the old Vintage TDs could ever hope to be. Sure they
take some driving style adjustments, but any change you make to the car
will cause you to adjust to that change.<br class="">

Yes?<br class="">
<br class="">
If everyone is on the same tire, so what? It's still racing,
there will still be one of you guys on the top of the podium, and
everyone else trying to figure out how to get there, just like it is
now. And at the end of the day will we not still be <br class="">
Friends of Triumph? Of course we will.<br class="">
