Why are the highest performance racing (F1) tires soft, but high performance summer tires for consumer cars are hard?
In: 65
They are optimized for different requirements. F1 also changes tires depending on weather conditions because every advantage can make the difference between a win or not. They’re driven close to the edge of the performance envelope.
Consumer cars are designed to be versatile and not need tire changes depending on the weather.
This surely is a frequently asked question under “tires”.
