why are the tires used in F1 racing are.....???

no minus!

I believe he is talking about the dry condition tires. Obviusly rain tires must have grooves or you would slide right off the track. F1 uses the grooves as a way to slow the cars down. The grooves means less actual tire touching the track which leads to less grip which means you have to slow down!

The real answer is that each sanctioning body makes it own rules and if NASCAR wanted to use a grooved "wet" tire they could certainly allow it. It is true that tires play an integral part in how any car performs; and, with that said, the rules surrounding tires have changed to keep up with racing within each different arena.

A while back...2000 I believe, the FIA decided to groove the tires to try and slow the cars down. In 2000, the cars were going faster on the grooved tires than they did the previous year on slicks, so that did not work. Now they are trying to slow the cars down by reducing the number of cylinders in the engines. I believe in 2000 there were 12, and now they are down to 8 cylinder engines. The FIA has also brought rules in regarding aerodynamics to try and slow the cars down as well.

Because slicks are banned in F1. It also makes it more safe. This year there is only one tyre supplier, Bridgestone. And bridgestone supplies the tyres for that specific race. And under F1 rule all teams must use both hard and soft (with white band in the middle) compounds during the race.

indexed right here are different varieties of F1 racing tyres presently offered by Bridgestone: A. Dry climate Tyres one million. not elementary compound 2. Medium compound 3. comfortable compound 4. great-comfortable compound B. moist climate Tyres one million. Intermediate 2. moist tyres 3. extreme moist tyres

wel..the tires that ya talking about are called SLICKS..they dnt have any tread...they give u maximum grip..the reason why F1 Uses grooved tires is to slow down the cars....plus are safer when it suddenly rains as those extra 4 grooves can dispence the water alot more unlike slicks

Because of the conditions of the racing surface. F-1 uses existing streets although many times resurfaced for the race and the curvs and hills can be dangerous with smooth tires.

Racing on tracks designed for racing needs less tred because of the banking of the curvs and special surface.

. They are not heavily threaded they have grooves,they race in the wet, as do motorcycles,why other so called racing cars don't I don't know .
