                                              F1 TIRES 

                               ROAD TIRES 

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN F1 TYRES AND ROAD TYRES

1.  F1 tires are made up of 19% natural rubber, whereas road tires are made up of less than 19% natural rubber 
2. F1 cars tire has more silica to decrease rolling resistance compared to road tires. 
3. F1 tires use less synthetic rubber compared to road tires which make them soft.
4. F1 tires are softer than normal road tires
5. F1 tires have thread of just 2 to 3 mm, but road tires have thread of 30 mm

WHY F1 TIRES ARE MADE UP OF SUCH MATERIAL WHICH ARE NOT LONG LASTING?

F1 tires are made up of larger percentage of pure rubber and less percentage of synthetic rubber and other chemicals to decrease resistance of rolling offered by rubber and also to get more cornering and braking force

CORNERING FORCE 

• OFFERED BY ROAD TIRES : 0.7 G's
• OFFERED BY F1 TIRES : 4.5 G's 

BRAKING FORCE 

• OFFERED BY ROAD TIRES : 0.8 G's
• OFFERED BY F1 TIRES : 5G's

HOW ARE F1 TIRES TESTED BEFORE USE 

1. They are kept in temperature of 300*F for a long time to test their quality 
2. they are spun on a speed of up to 270kmph for a long time
3. Almost 1000 kg is been kept on them to test their strength
4. They are been crashed with a speed of 160 kmph to check resistance with a collision.

After all these test on each tires they are been send to use for the F1 race.

FAMOUS BRAND WHICH MANIFACTURE F1 TIRES 

MAJOR REASON FOR F1 TIRES BURSTING OUT DURING RACE 

1.  when tires get heated due to continuous high speed more than 300*F
2.  Taking long turns on High speeds
3. Extensive braking
