Back in the day, ours were "good" for 6 laps, then "progressively" went off.

Just wanted to clarify that bit... "Progressively" often meant "drop off a cliff", it was all a matter of conditions, and whatever they mixed into that batch of rubber. Usually though, by the last lap we were all over the place. For the most part, everyone was so it was standard operating procedure.

I guess what I'm trying to say is I think tire degradation is and should be a part of the sport. Having everyone on perfect grip until the checkered flag can make for some very boring racing.

agree 100% tz,, my gripe was the disparity between the tire "choices". I've never heard of 3 compounds giving such drastic differences,, i.e. race 1 Rea was practicing his victory speech when he discovered someone spooled qualifiers on his bike. From first to worst,, part of racing I know but a darn shame..
