i dont think control tyres on the front of a 2wd are a good idea, there are so many different types of chassis around to be catered for, and it could make it very hard for a less experienced racer to get their car set up to their liking on spikes, when the car might just work perfectly and be a lot more driveable on ribs or two row studs even. rear control tyres are good in a way as they will limit the overall grip available to everyone. personally i think it should be a limit on compound used rather than anything else, eliminating tyres that grip like hell for one race then go in the bin. one set of rears per meeting could really make things more interesting, but again could lead to people going all out to get a good run in an early heat and not bothering racing again until the finals. people will still carry boxes of the same tyre around, with different inserts, different numbers of spikes cut off, wheels different in weight or stiffness, etc. etc. no matter what you do, anything for that little performance advantage so it wont really create a level playing field or cut costs that much
