no they wouldn't explode or desintegrate... that's racing tires. road tires have way harder compound and are often rated for much larger (weight) loads than f1 cars. it would just have way less grip, and as such would never be able to apply the horizontal loads that would be necessary to cause problems (i think, maybe i'm underestimating how much grip just straight downforce gives the car). f1 road cars would be like FE, but maybe worse because FE still uses softer compounds than most road tires, even if they're granite compared to f1.
I believe Scott has the incorrect cost for the F1 tires. I run Pirellis on my cup cars and a full set is approx $3200USD. Impossible to believe F1 tires cost less than mine. Great content other than improper cost.
I’ve seen how the land speed record breaking tires are produced at Goodyear in Akron OH. Those are more unusual than F1 ones - stiffer (feels like wood) and very thin to avoid too big of a temperature gradient, which may lead to deformation and rupture. The production is R&D-like, they are handmade in very small quantities.
I can't help but think going back to pre-2017 tires would solve a lot of F1's problems. Less aero wash, less grip (to encourage move overtaking), less weight (and, crucially, less unsprung weight), lower risk to marshals and pit crew if wheel tethers fail, and it will allow F1 cars to be substantially narrower and aid in solving the size problem.
Not necessarily. Less mechanical grip means you’re relying more heavily on aero grip, which is more easily disrupted by the car ahead of you. Less aero grip means you’re skidding more in the turns, slowing you down.
Pre 2017 tyres were terrible. Also dirty air from the tyres was actually worse during those days and better today because of the wheel covers and the front wings. Plus it's less effective due to the increased focus on ground effect
i want to go back to the Senna days where they abused the tires in the whole race overtaking eachother many times... today there is a 2 or 3 lap "window" where you can try to overtake once or twice...
If only we could get decent tires for $50.. the cheapest I'd put on anything are ~$70 and my budget track tires are ~$95 can't even imagine splurging on slicks

Always wanted to know, if the tread pattern on pirelli's wet and intermediate tires are so incredibly good at dispersing water and adding back a lot of wet weather grip, why isn't that same pattern used in road cars? Wouldn't such a pattern make tires safer in tough weather conditions and lessen the possibility for hydroplaning?
Road noise is not a relevant concern when designing an F1 tyre, neither is fuel economy to the same extent that it is for a road tyre. An extreme wet tyre doesn't need to function at all in dry conditions either, unlike a road tyre - which must not only function in a wide range of conditions, but handle as predictably as possible in those conditions too.
the 2012 season isn't that the reason The tires are so precise cause 8 different winners in first 8 races (crazy)....so FIA loved that that's why the side walls so thin???? Teach me dammit!!
Up to 60,000 miles??? Not sure what tyres you're using but I've had top of the line Pirelli, Michelin, Bridgestone (worst) and more, for most which last around 30- 40,000 km.
NO, they're not called dynamometers. Dynamometers measure torque and speed (and thus power) of a motor to measure its performance. This can be done through the wheels, the hub, or directly on the fly wheel, however that machine shown testing the tyres is not a dynamometer. It might use a small dynamometer within it to measure some of the parameters of the testing, i.e. the torque of the road being driven, ad the torque on the tyre. However that machine is a MTS Flat-Trac® IV CT plus Tire Test Bench specifically. There isn't really a nice neat name for the tyre testing machines, but more or less they're called dynamic tire test rig.
I'm honestly baffled how cheap the F1 tires are, I had no idea. What I did remember is that a set of tires for a Bugatti Chiron is $42.000 and needs to be replaced every 2500mi (4000km). Now THAT'S expensive af.
@@bakedbeings You're right about the gluing part, but it doesn't come with the the wheels... the wheel set is an extra $69.000 for some extra crazyness lol.

$1000 bucks for an F1 tire? When I was 20 years old I had a lifted Silverado with huge off-road tires. I went in to get new tires and the shop quoted me $2500. So $1000 for an F1 soft is a bargain I think.
