why do racecars have to change tires so often? Usually tires are good for much longer than a day.
In: Engineering
Race tires are made out of soft, sticky rubber that maximizes traction. They wear out quickly, especially when cornering at high speed.
Also, they are looking for any edge they can get. If spending a few seconds putting on slightly better tires gets you more than a few seconds in increased performance, it is a win.
