Somebody school me on formula 1 tires... why the tall sidewalls? In street tires, the more extreme, the lower the profile. Shorter sidewalls, less flex, more cornering traction... Seems like in anything except F1, the tires are very low profile.

I almost mentioned "except drag cars" in my original post but didn't think it would go there. Also keep in mind that the front tires on an F1 car are higher profile than the rear tires of a GT car.
