Might make for closer racing, but if that's what you want why not put everyone on proddie R6's.
Racing is about competition. And that means riders/manufacturers/teams etc etc

Initially the single Tyre rule in WSB was seen as a joke as some riders were getting the odd duff tyre but they are now breaking the lap records.
The 125 and 250 series have managed with a single tyre rule for ages and their tyres improved as soon as Dunlop stopped doing MotoGP tyres

'heirlooms'
You can imagine the aghast look on the faces of the familiy as they hear Narna's beak tell them they have inherited 19 pairs of unused tyres, and one pair with ' a lot of life left in them'
