This. Maybe a 3rd set so they can play each stage out

Let’s ask the people who actually uses the tires what they think

Only use the options. No point to using 2 separate compounds.

Take the option, make it the prime, and keep making the option softer!

It did work but I’m not a fan of it it’s almost like nascar is going towards Indycar and F1 I’m used to one tire type and that’s it all I want for the next gen car is a tire that does the same thing as what the tires on the Trucks, Xfinity, and cup from the gen 6 on back those tires did exactly what they needed to do everything is perfect I can have 15 lap fresher tires and I will be faster than those on 15 lap older tires and it will last me until they pit for their fresh tires and then they will be faster than me until I get my fresh tires again thats how it should be not where I have 15 lap fresher tires and I only have a few laps until I run the same lap times and can’t pass those on 15 lap older tires

They will try anything else but more horsepower! Parity means the cars are all the same, with similar setups, and SMT leads the drivers to all drive the same. Goodyear isn’t the problem. Take off the restrictor plates and watch how fast these young drivers burn the rear tires up
