Personally, I feel the shops and the people who run the racing bodies have a massive conflict of interest. You dig just under the surface and there is always an agenda and the agenda is always money.
Tires are required. They are necessary or you dont race and it means manufacturers, shops etc have a monopoly and will ALWAYS say that their tire is the best, you need their tire to be fast. Its a massive, massive market.
Until there is a member voted control tire (where ALL members provide input and voted) then the system is always and will always be controlled by those with an agenda.
When they stop considering the money earning potential in this decision and who can make a quick buck, and consider ALL racers, then it wont change.
I feel the tires should be ”not for profit” and supplied by governing body only..
