Yes, because who cares if the actual product sucks?
Does ANYBODY here actually think that that is even remotely practical? Use your heads people, there is a REASON why there are so many different tire compounds. How many of you guys complain after a race that Goodyear brought the wrong tire? Well, if there was only one tire, it would likely be the WRONG one for ALL the tracks. I have thought for MANY years that Michelin or Bridgestone could likely do a much better job than Goodyear, but that being said, it's a bastard job trying to come up with a tire that will put on a good show AND not get drivers killed, and it's an ever moving target to hit as cars change. aero packages change, teams evolve with their setups and as the tracks are repaved and then age. Some of you need to come off the "purity of the competition" angle. If this sport isn't compelling enough to get people to watch, NOTHING else matters, because there will not BE a NASCAR. There simply is not enough of you who enjoy that type of racing for it to survive as a major sport. If football had stuck to the rule forbidding forward passes, nobody would watch IT either.
