What is the standard wheel size of an f1 car?
Tyres can be no wider than 355 mm (14 in) and 380 mm (15 in) at the front and rear respectively. Unlike the fuel, the tyres bear only a superficial resemblance to a normal road tyre. Whereas a roadcar tyre has a useful life of up to 80,000 km (49,710 mi), in 2005, a Formula One tyre is built to last just one race distance (a little over 300 km (186 mi)). This is the result of a drive to maximize the road-holding ability, leading to the use of very soft compounds (to ensure that the tyre surface conforms to the road surface as closely as possible).
