I'm not picking on you in particular but pretty much every request for a change has everything to do with making someone more competitive:
- Cheaper = more competitive, since it will free up money to buy other performance improvements
- Longer lasting (aka "Safer") = more competitive for the same reason; money gets spent on tires rather than replacing [whatever] that has to be replaced often
- Easier = more competitive, since time saved doing X means time (and money, same thing) to do Y
- Safer = (generally) more competitive, given all kinds of pretzel logic about how the current situation is unsafe
I've been in this game a long time and there are only a few things that I have grown to REALLY count on as truisms. One is that, "If someone requests a rule change, it's sure as heck not because they think it's going to make them SLOWER."

Great arguments!! Yes, the change will make racing cheaper (cheaper wheels and longer lasting tires) and easier (greater availability of wheels and tires).
