Will make decent stickier tyres go up in price though, as most of Joe Public will want harder compound that are gonna last the longest. Manufacturers will put the price of softer compound tyres up to break even on their costs........... :undecided:

Neah, if they're selling more hard compound tyres they won't need to put up other prices.

If it results in people generally buying better tyres then it's a good thing overall.  Remember other people having better tyres in a good thing for you as well.

Really good idea, saves me reading though hundreds of reviews on what tires to buy next, as misses prefers good stopping tires in the wet, I prefer good dry tires.
