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 by design – F1 tyres degrade out quickly and are notoriously difficult to get into the right “working window” (the temperature where they perform well) because F1 want to encourage drivers/teams to make more pitstops because it’s more interesting for the fans strategy wise.
Pirelli could make a tyre that lasts a whole race, but F1 don’t want them to.
To answer the second part of your question: yes a car that is being used for racing will wear it’s tyres out quicker (for reasons explained in other replies here) but in F1 it’s artificially exaggerated as I said.
