£50 Normal Tyres vs £700 Formula 1 Tyres 

@@Expialidoucious but the objective would be to make a drivable car without rules

@@lochl2 yes. Like build the absolute fastest drivable race car without rules. That would be crazy. The porsche 919 EVO is a bit close to this scenario however it's built upon an existing platform that was governed by rules. We'd like to see something built from the ground up.

@@ipo7596 I agree, something similar to the Red Bull x2010 Adrian Newey designed some times ago. Not sure how someone would be able to drive this thing without passing out tho... However I really think the F1 should be revised from the ground up. It's supposed to be the pinnacle of motorsport but every innovations ends up illegal. They really should focus on safety and efficiency at their primary rules but scrap everything else. The car should be within certain parameters like the size and the drag produced to offer interesting races. Other than that, it's up to the teams are allowed to use x amount of fuel to finish the race. You want to use a good old V10 ...okay! or a small 4-cylinder with big ass turbos? fine! ...but keep in mind you need to use x amount of fuel. I think we'd be surprised to see how out of the box some team will think. To keep things interesting I'd make all cad files/designs available after 3 races so any team would be able to see/use the other teams ideas. That would be highly controversial but very cost efficient for teams with smaller budget. Other bonus is that we'd know what the Aston Martin would looks like in 3 races :P

@@cybernetix86just wait for the ‘26 specs. I have this uncanny feeling that wings will be basically completely banned outside 60’s style winglets and a smaller version of the current rear wing with 90% of the DF made via ground effect

@@dylanzrim3635 Is it really F1 if you don’t have wings though?

bulk rate probably

I know what I'm buying for my birthday

I had the same reaction. Feels affordable lol

700 euro so 843 USD per tire hard to believe. Theirs sports car tires out there that cost 4-8k a set

Cheaper than Bugatti!

I realized how effective their marketing was when I recently saw a set of pirelli p zeros on a car and I thought to myself, "damn those look like some grippy tires". Nevermind the fact that other tire manufacturers also make performance tires

he was only talking about the price of the tires, not their services or costs

@@MoGumbo_ of course, the comparison to the multi-billion cost of road tire prices made it seem like pirelli hasn't hit the jackpot with f1, when, in fact ,they have

Pirelli still sucks

@@hassannaeem101 Just the white/yellow/red band around road tires would make people on the market for grippy street tires interested and people's turn heads. No matter their performance on the road/track. It's amazing how far their reach is because of their F1 involvement.

F1 has Alex Fabrega who is pretty good at this sort of stuff.

mostly in asia but they are thiner width wise and will not last for 60 k miles more like 10 k km

Skidders, or people who don't have the most ideal income for nice tyres

it would prob burn them completly in a lap or 2, just like how wet tyres overheat fast when driven on dry trach. At least thats my guess

@@_Drekavac_ yeah, also the car will be undrivable,its will have 0 grip and the tryres will then overheat too..its impossible for normal tyres to output 1000hp and now that i think about it,maybe they would also get ripped completely from the loads of the high downforce corners such as copse ,maybe even on the straights

They'd probably blow up right away after doing a burn out at the start. If not that, they'd disintegrate at the first corner or braking point

no they wouldn't explode or desintegrate... that's racing tires. road tires have way harder compound and are often rated for much larger (weight) loads than f1 cars. it would just have way less grip, and as such would never be able to apply the horizontal loads that would be necessary to cause problems (i think, maybe i'm underestimating how much grip just straight downforce gives the car). f1 road cars would be like FE, but maybe worse because FE still uses softer compounds than most road tires, even if they're granite compared to f1.

My Continental GP5000 cost $70 here in Cyprus (each)

Here in argentina, a normal car tyre costs like $150

Yup, a set of 20 inch rears for my former 911 was about $1,200.

@@groosbro1 I believe it man especially on a square set up. Gets spicy but I guess we are fortunate to be able to enjoy it.

@@Photobombin The maintenance on the 911 was absurd, thank God it was a lease and under warranty, otherwise I would have spent well over $13K for fixing relatively minor things, like a squeaky clutch pedal bushing that required removal of the dash to access. A $10 bushing required 15 hours of labor at $189/hr.... Porsche tax...

@@groosbro1 I can only imagine. I would have loved a 911 but to steep for my current financial situation. I just play with Corvettes cause they are cheap and I know the ins and outs of every single generation having worked on restorations. I haven’t had any experience with a C8 but seems like a good value for the money. The 911 though…. I’ll keep dreaming hahaha.

@@Photobombin It wasn't overly "expensive" at about $1,100 a month, and I had it through the Covid lockdown. No one on the roads, no police, no commuters, it was a joy to wind it out in first three gears to 7,500 rpm, at which point it was at "loose your license" speed... 🤣

Lol my mom just bought Walmart Brand Chinese tires for her 2020 Ford Explorer. I tried telling her to get Michelins but she said they cost too much. 30 minutes later she’s talking about planning a Spring Break vacation to NYC(this is normal it’s only 2hrs away) and going to the Louis Vuitton store. Won’t spend $1,000 on the thing that stops her 5,000lb SUV that does 80mph but will spend $3,000 on a bag.

@@Michael-pi8ps there are a few things on a car that i would never skimp on. tires and brakes for example.

​@@affectedrl5327 exactly, these are essential, they can either your life, or the life or someone else on the road

i think it's missing a zero at least

but change for the sake change will save F1, the FIA said so

Not necessarily. Less mechanical grip means you’re relying more heavily on aero grip, which is more easily disrupted by the car ahead of you. Less aero grip means you’re skidding more in the turns, slowing you down.

Pre 2017 tyres were terrible. Also dirty air from the tyres was actually worse during those days and better today because of the wheel covers and the front wings. Plus it's less effective due to the increased focus on ground effect

or shorten the supension arms.

They look shabby

Oh I see it’s a 10 year old 13” tire.

Is there anything that _isn't_ ridiculously expensive in the US?

@@halofreak1990 nope 😂 this country is a shit hole tbh and it’s too expensive to live here

@@halofreak1990 food and gas

@@mattfantastic9969 Food in the grocery store, especially healthy food, is also ridiculously expensive. Fast food and pizza, I agree, is cheap as gas. I remember getting a much better quality burrito from a Mexican quality for the price of 2 frozen burritos from the supermarket. The latter - not worth it.

It’s possible. 🧐McDonald’s happy meal toys made it the biggest unit toy seller🤓

those are a budget one, he probably uses ones around the same pric but for the video they do cheap expensive

The Bugatti tyres come *with* a wheel/rim; they have to glue them on to stay attached despite massive lateral forces.

@@bakedbeings You're right about the gluing part, but it doesn't come with the the wheels... the wheel set is an extra $69.000 for some extra crazyness lol. And the wheels need to be changed with every second new set tires. Check out Motortrend's review of the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse from 2012 for details.

@@PhazerSC I think after 3 sets of tyres, the rims need to be replaced.

The difference is downforce. It squeezes out the water, even with a much chunkier tread. (edit: I'm guessing)

Road noise is not a relevant concern when designing an F1 tyre, neither is fuel economy to the same extent that it is for a road tyre. An extreme wet tyre doesn't need to function at all in dry conditions either, unlike a road tyre - which must not only function in a wide range of conditions, but handle as predictably as possible in those conditions too.

Then you are being shafted if that's just for a regular budget tyre Also it's £50 not $50

£700 is only one tyre, not one set.

Hard compound

I believe so, and the Pirelli engineers analyze the used tyres. Also, I believe it’s required to return allocations that were issued.

Around 21 psi
