What is the uses of F1 tires?
Formula One tyre for dry surfaces is a colossus of 660 mm in external diameter and 350 mm wide, containing four
longitudinal grooves of at least 2.5 mm imposed by the Depth Regulations. These grooves are symmetrically placed from the centre of the tyre tread and spaced 50 mm apart. Far from being just an altered slick, the dry surface tyre is a completely new concept, introduced to F1 with the sole aim of reducing the size of the ground contact area, i.e. the surface which ensures grip, resulting from the contact of the rubber compound and track. The aim of the
regulations: to reduce the speed of the cars on corners... even if this
means lost sleep for the manufacturers' design offices.
