Race tyres are very different than road tyres. Tyres of a road car are made for durability and these are made with heavy steel-belted radial piles. It can run 16,000 kilometers without hazards. On the other hand, tyres of a formula one racing car are made for 200 kilometers running. These are made as light and strong as possible. Such tyres can tolerate more forces than road tyres. One racing in this aspect signifies a tons of down force, longitudinal loadings of 5g and lateral loadings of 4g. A very soft rubber compound is used to make such racing tyres. The design is such that it can put up with temperature between 90 degree Celsius and 110 degree Celsius. Tyres really bear very vital role in Formula One racing.

Formula one racing car is marvel of technology. There is no doubt about it. Developments in engine, fuel technology and aerodynamics have taken place rapidly. However, tyres are one of the biggest changing factor of formula one racing. A bad car with good tyres can do well,
but in no way, a good car with bad tyres can perform well. Even it can result in an accident. It has now been a custom to get supply of tyres from a single source. This is to avoid mismatch and discrepancy in performance. Still, it is found hard to fit body and tyres of a racing car.
