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 you drag chalk across the floor, pushing down on it makes it use more chalk
F1 cars are designed to take corners ridiculously fast, to do this they need a lot of grip. That grip comes in the form of downforce by utilising air to increase the amount of downward force on the car.
Similar to the rock, the force from the air pushing down on the car into the road (and therefore the tires) makes them erode faster.
If you’re racing a supercar often, you will need to change the tires more often than you would on a standard car. It really depends on how the supercar is used.
Heavier cars tend to go through tires more as well.
