I agree, this whole tire flip flop bullshit is starting to get old and quick.
If they would just stick with something and leave it alone would be great, 8 rims with 8 tires and be done with it. I thought the 8's were fine last year, as long as they didn't come apart, i ran my lefts all year, had 2 RFs come apart (and mcoll's/tire company didn't do shit for me, but did other's, so 250$ down the drain) but once they were heat cycled they were great and i never shaved a single one, just heat cycled so 6 tires for a year is a lot better than 2 every 2/3 nights 4 if you stretched em. Guess well see, time will tell what happens and how it goes.

How could there be an issue with a set of rules from 2013 that are locked in?

I can speak about the towel city tires I never ran them but I didn't say I wasn't happy with the 7" Hoosiers, I never had a problem with them back in the day, you just can't abuse them, for that matter you can abuse any tire, I just thought the 8" Hoosiers that the SS will be running this year would be a good fit for durability and they would stick well, I think we will be fine on the 7" tires, I am just debating on how big of difference the 8" rims will make over the 7" rims

tires have their own rule book, and were not locked, hence the change to 7" tires in 2014

Didn't have much of a problem with the 7's either, infact I ran them first 2 races of 2013. I am in the same mind set you are rick, the trucks feel better with the 8's, they feel more stable in my opinion compared to the 7's, its a wider track width etc, its the constant change our minds game that's getting old, need to stick with one and be done with it, most guys i know, sold the 7's to enduro's etc because we were under the assumption we weren't coming back to 7's but is what it is just putting my comments in.

Awesome turn out at the drivers meetings. The trucks are looking promising. I wasn't totally fimiliar with everyone at the meeting and want to put a list of everyone who was there. Does anyone know everyone who was there? I'm excited for the 7 inch tires since both our trucks planned on running them this year anyways. I do feel bad for all the guys that went out and bought 8's though.

No to cause too much excitement but I was speaking with the 7 and he hopes to race his truck this season again. He was excited to hear of the rules being the same and decreased schedule   So add another to the list of 15

I'm the one who bought Trevors truck.  I was going to run SS, but things changed.  I was only able to run a partial schedule.  The trucks having only 6 races make it possible for me to run a full season.  I use to race on dirt at South Buxton, and I'm looking forward to something new.

P.S Is anyone one running #43?

Not in trucks, unless there's a new registrant this year who already grabbed it.
