I am a relatively new fan to Formula1. So, one of the staple aspects in the sport is changing of tyres as they wear out quickly and become unusable because they travel at such high speeds. If so, do people that own super cars like Lamborghini Aventador, Koenigsegg Agera keep changing their tyres too?
Thanks in Advance!

It’s a combination of the speed, and using very soft compounds that give better grip.
But for a road-going car you do not need quite that level of grip and can use a tougher tyre compound, and when stuck in a traffic jam on the M6, your ability to go around corners at 120mph+ is very limited.
But powerful cars can eat tyres, especially the drive wheels if driven hard. It’s just that few are very often.
