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.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/hijacked.gif) actually top fuel is 85% nitro and 15% methonal. f1 i believe has a 13"rim rule so side wall hieght is related to contact patch. f1 tire rules i think also state tire dementions, nascar does the same. google racing tires and i/m sure all this will be explained. oh. and heat durabily from heat and cornering forces track debrie all kinds of stuff. |
