This will more then likely come down to the head inspector (in many cases) at the regionals/Champs. "Normal wear" in my book, is light scratching of the tread area, that would resemble a razor slit. There should be very few side to side "slits" and a fairly constant diameter slit. These slits will be hard to be done without testing, because as some have found out, the slits tend to be spuratic and very inconsistent on the tread of the wheels. In a nutshell, I believe the only issues that inspectors will have, is with team who have altered their wheels, gracious professionalism will need to be used by teams to make sure that they do not alter their wheels to appear "more used" then normal.
