What tire rating do you use? Speed rating? Treadwear? I don't think you
can solve the RE71 issue without making tires open within specified bounds.
It is almost impossible to dictate what tires are better in any way shape
or form, and I propose that issues such as these would make 'pure stock'
more difficult to police than what we have.

Well, it's not a race, but that's a fight I lose with just about every one I
try
to convince. Solo II is not racing. To have the two as interchangeable in
your vocabulary is a bad thing IMO and could hurt you and your club in the
long run.
My point on tires was that eventually you can't keep a car 'pure stock' and
there need to be bounds to allow you some latitude at that point. Once you
set such bounds, you are no longer 'pure stock' and that's why I don't think
such an idea will work.
