<DIV>I would agree on a spec "old timey" tire as well. If
everyone were on the hard compound Dunlops it would save wear and tear on
the vehicle and, as you said, put everyone on the same playing
field. I also agree that locking eveyone into a single supplier is
not a good thing.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Our avocation, be it racing or driving our vintage street cars, is at a
crossroads, and tires are a very big part of the problem. As
new cars go to ever increasing rim diameters, and ever decreasing aspect ratios
for the tire mounted on those rims, tire manufacturers slowly phase out older
sizes. It's even difficult to get high performance street tires in
some 60 series 15 inch sizes now.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I don't know what the answer is. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What I do know is that a TR2/3/4/5/6 looks silly with 17" rims and 50
series rubber on it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hang in there folks.</DIV>

<DIV>I agree with Terry, but go a step further. I think 50 profile tires on a
"vintage" race car is outrageous. We're I in charge, you'd all be on 70
profile tires. Tall, skinny tires. It would be exciting and far more
like the way things were. </DIV>
<DIV id="AppleMailSignature"><BR></DIV>
<DIV id="AppleMailSignature">So too having a spec tire for our cars.
Everyone one the same tire levels the field. It would be great.
A downside is NO COMPETITION FROM SUPPLIERS. We'd be a captured
group of buyers.</DIV>
<DIV id="AppleMailSignature"><BR></DIV>
<DIV id="AppleMailSignature">But... That's none of that is going to
happen.</DIV>
