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!

When James May drove the Bugatti Veyron, he mentioned that the tires only last 12 minutes at top speed.
Most people don’t drive their supercars anywhere near top speed most of the time, and typically they don’t put a lot of miles on them at all.
The thing about F1 is that it’s a race, and they know they need to go through a certain number of sets of tires in the race because of required pit stops. So there’s no reason to design a tire to last, and every reason to design a tire for maximum performance that’s completely used up by the time it needs to be swapped out
