I wasn't aware of any national event contingencies that Bridgestone had, but Yoko certainly had them; I think I got some Yokohama money myself last year.

Another reason Yokos were so prevalent in STU, is that the optimal sizes were available, vs. some of the other manufacturers. (Or maybe that was non-turbos; the turbos may have been able to get either in the 245's.) Yokohamas are more $$$, they are a good tire, but so is the 615 for the Subaru. And that said, I want to try some RE01R's this year too.
