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.

Isn't the tire restriction standard for all formula type racing? Those formula Vee guys have to race with stock wheels and tires. I don't know, really. I'm kinda impartial to open wheel racing. At least for today.
