Crew chiefs offer thoughts on the five tires per night rule

We were on a 5 tire rule this weekend with that Mississippi State Series. We really liked it. With only 2 of us, tires was not where we wanted to be spending our time. The only problem we have is stagger. You have to be really careful because you can easily get more stagger than you want because new tires will grow on you after a heat cycle. If that happens you can get your stagger off and will have to keep those on till the feature regardless. As hot as it was, buffing tires was bad enough. We didn't have time to cut and sipe new tires too.
