What happens when you put Formula 1 tyres on a road car? Do you get F1 levels of grip or is it impossible to keep them hot?

Our main problem was getting the F1 wheels to actually fit the car. Formula one wheels use a centre-lock to make them easy to remove, whereas normal road cars, usually have 4 or 5 nuts or bolts holding the wheel on.
So, what we’ve made is a set of adapters that bolt onto the original hub. We spent a ton of time measuring, drawing and machining them - from a solid block - to get them right, so we couldn’t wait to finally see them on the car for the first time.

On a Formula 1 car, the super grippy soft tyres should drastically improve braking. But, without the same level of downforce I really didn’t think they would make a difference…
We know that tyres aren’t just for racing round a track. So, after what I thought was some successful testing, we wanted to try them out in the real world. First up, a trip to the shops.
