Too Afraid to Ask

tyre wear is a term you might hear when people talk about cars.

Technical Definition

Tyre wear describes how quickly an F1 car’s tyres degrade during a stint due to heat, friction, and load. It strongly affects pace, strategy, and how hard drivers can push—especially on tracks where conditions amplify degradation.
