Description

<p>This paper traces the background of how we arrived at today's racing tires, with a particular focus on tire development for Formula One(F1). Tires have been transformed due to the effects of engine output and vehicle weight distribution. Some of the main developments have been widening of tires, the appearance of slick tires due to the development of synthetic rubber formulation technology, and innovative changes in ply structure from bias tires to radial tires. This paper also presents the unique point that state-of-the-art technology created in racing tire development - which tends to be regarded as unconnected with fuel consumption - is used in commercial fuel-efficient tires.</p>
