But - not counting Riley - all of these 2017 spec chassis have already used old Dunlops for years and many of them the 'new' Goodyears as well, there's not going to be much of transition

It may have been different if there still had been SMPs, Zyteks, Kodewas, Domes and whatever solely using Michelins or Yokohamas etc
