Regardless of grooves, outlaw compounds that cause marbles

A bit more radical, but if it was not that tyre dust and "marbles" (little bits of rubber that comes off like the rolls of rubber you get on paper after using an eraser) made most of the track unusable, overtaking will be a little easier.

Adam B from Australia adds

I note with particular interest that you mention outlawing tyre compounds that cause marbles. The ChampCar series in America is now using a different type of tyre and it has reduced the marbling by a great amount. So in other words, Bridgestone & Michelin should be made to produce this kind of tyre already being made by Firestone and Goodyear in America.

Heretic's reply:

This is worth investigation.

Does anybody know how this was done? Is there a copy of the regulations on the net that we can look at?
