At the time it was promoted as a massive win for parity.

Bridgestone did a better job than Yokohama and Dunlop and the teams and media, lead by WGR and Barry Sheene using his role as commentator as a convenient soap box, constantly complained about it.

The issue was about access to tyres not the cost.
