9 speed chainrings on SRAM red crank
Looking to upgrade my tiagra group to SRAM red and the crank is the first purchase. Can I use this crank before the full upgrade by swapping chainrings or do I have to wait? (I realize this will be odd...)

any 10 speed crank will work fine with your tiara. No need to swap the chainrings. A 9 speed crank would have teeth that were too wide for a narrower 10 speed chain, but having narrower 10 speed teeth won't be be problem for the wider 9 speed chain.

No need to switch the chainrings, the SRAM ones will work fine.
