The whole concept of the tire rule being to "reduce costs" is such a joke!
I don't think it was ever portrayed as being about "reducing costs". It was an attempt to slow the cars down.

The engine rule is more about reducing costs, but again it seems partially aimed at slowing down the cars. I think the switch to V8s next year is also about limiting speed.
