Tire Management and Cost Control

#27041 from Jim Drago · Not recommended · Minutes (2019-05 Fastrack)

Thank you for your letter. After careful consideration of the tire limiting proposal and the official results
of the March 2019 What Do You Think (WDYT) the SMAC has chosen not to recommend the tire limiting
proposal at this time.
There were multiple factors that the SMAC considered when coming to this conclusion:
• The overall response rate to the WDYT via the letter system was low; suggesting that tire
limiting may not be a priority to a large proportion of the Spec Miata community.
• Responses were not overwhelmingly in favor of tire limiting. Responses varied greatly, with
approximately one third in favor of the tire limiting proposal, one third suggesting their own

proposals, and one third not in favor of tire limiting.
• The ongoing development of the Hoosier SM8 may yield a better solution.
• The possible redistribution of the 2021 Hoosier contingency program could alleviate some tire
costs to a greater number of participants.
