The problem with turning up to any AGM with a 'good idea' is that you run into the ideas that are already entrenched.
The committee who control the AGM are convinced that theirs is the right way and it can be almost impossible to overturn that committee because it is packed with 'friends' or like thinkers.
So, you have to turn up with a load of supporters and hope that the committee hasn't heard what you are doing and don't take their own action in return.
Another problem with committees is that they become moribund, resistant to change and bound into their own ideas or tradition. It's particularly difficult when there is a vested interest at hand too.
Lastly, of course, a particular good idea is only a good idea to a very few people. The vast majority of people haven't been asked or haven't been given the right information.
So, while it may be true that there are places in the world where you can buy a box of tyres for £X, it doesn't hold that the importer is actually making a big profit when you have to buy a set of tyres for £X+Y at the track.
Or that, if you cut down those costs, suddenly there isn't a trader at the track when you want one, because the business is no longer in profit.
(So I can see that a side effect of shifting to harder tyres, less sales might be a rise in the price of tyres to compensate for the loss in volume.).
