The Tyre Poll

I think Skid should have offered the option of going back th the rules of 2006. That would have gotten my vote.

yea but thats annoying and say a mistake happened Brigestone tyres with Michelin sticker

Control tyre. The whole 'benefit to road users' idea for the tyre war is a little overrated imho, considering MotoGP tyres are designed to last around 40 minutes whereas road tyres have to last much, much longer. To me thats like saying the benefits of Honda's Formula One car are passed down to Civic owners. Can't see it, to be honest. You're looking at two very different animals.

The Control Tyre may soon become a nessecity rather than an option. The costs of competing are spiralling, and teams spend a great deal of time, and money, testing tyres. Add in the ever increasing grip they offer, and the switch to 800's, and corner speeds may spiral out of control.

We've seen the positive effect it's had on World Superbikes, and I think it's time we had it in MotoGP.

I like 3 and 4 but I don't know how realistic they are. I guess 3 is more likely than 4.

Even though I want a control tire, I voted 1 because i don't think the competitive tire situation is as lopsided is its been made out to be.

go back to the 990s...and the ability to use as many tires as they want.

voted for 1.

the difference between michelin and bridgestone is just one of the many factors for '07's lack of close racing.
and it wasnt as big a gap as the results suggest. there was more than 1 race where the bridgestone only podium was due to a kawasaki 1st turn game of "skittles"...
