After seeing all the problems with BoP the series has had so far, I'd say car-specific tires is a really goo d idea. The DPs already run a tire designed for the chassis---let the P2s do the same and don't mess with the power any more (except maybe for Daytona.)

That would emphasize the P2s' strengths without limiting the DPs any more, and without risking the P2 motors, and also without making each chassis type a clone of the other.

If the P2s are supposed to handle, let them handle. Further, the increased grip in the first few laps of each stint might mean some P2s can get ahead of some DPs and hold them up instead of the other way around.

Either that, turn the tables and make the DPs run on a P2-specific tire which they would likely eat in half a stint.
