I'm fine with a spec tire if it's halfway decent.&nbsp; Where I run into
issues is when I go outside my local circle and the tires being run are
way different - ie NOT a spec tire.&nbsp; The Yoko's are semi-competitive
then.<br><br>

Speaking strictly as a maintainer of a very fast TR (thanks Glen and
Jeff), my limited on track experience long behind me, what is the problem
with a defacto &quot;spec&quot; tire?<br>
&nbsp;<br>
The Speedster is a very good tire, we have never had them &quot;fall
off&quot; in a session.&nbsp;&nbsp; The things just work, and are far
better than the old Vintage TDs could ever hope to be.&nbsp; Sure they
take some driving style adjustments, but any change you make to the car
will cause you to adjust to that change.<br>
&nbsp;<br>
Now that I am on my soapbox, I will say that, quite frankly, we are not
racing for money, a National Championship, or for cash from a long dead
manufacturer.&nbsp; We do this for fun, because we love it.&nbsp;
Yes?<br>
&nbsp;<br>
If everyone is on the same tire, so what?&nbsp;&nbsp; It's still racing,
there will still be one of you guys on the top of the podium, and
everyone else trying to figure out how to get there, just like it is
now.&nbsp; And at the end of the day will we not still be <br>
Friends of Triumph?&nbsp; Of course we will.<br>
&nbsp;<br>
My two pence.<br>

<dd>I run the Speedster exclusively, anyhow, so limiting the 15/60 tire
selection to this tire is fine with me.&nbsp; It could make me more
competitive, which is also fine with me. <br><br>
