The wet tyres don't get used because they just red flag the race instead. 🤷‍♂️

[Shuno]

It’s worth mentioning that the 3 tire ‘range’ picked for each weekend consists of three consecutive compounds, not just any 3 compounds. That means you’ll see something like c5-red soft, c4-yellow medium, and c3-white hard.

[MiniMii]

Fun fact: the blue marked wet tires are actually only used for decoration whenever the race is red flagged due to heavy rain because the shade of blue looks really pretty and the team that came up with that shade of blue worked like really hard on it and they want everyone to see it…. Idk I just made that up but IT SURE FEELS THAT WAY WHENEVER IT RAINS

[Skye-Central]

The blue ones are mythical creatures that have a spawn rate 0.1%.

Honestly, I miss the days of supersofts and ultra softs, I know they are still there but I miss all 5 being available all weekend

[Emo]

Did bro just say “Full wets are used”?

[davidwylie]

The green ones are for when it's wet and the blue wets are never used because if it's that wet, it's too dangerous to actually race at all.

[itz_nick_playz]

Wait so what’s a super soft? And does that mean the soft tire from one weekend could be the heads for another? If so how do they last so much longer on certain tracks? Because I remember seeing Leclerc lasting like 30 laps in Australia with mediums. Could that be a soft compound for another race?

[PeanutButter]

If anyone is wondering about the preformance differences:

The soft tire, or red color, has a much softer rubber. This means that the rubber will grip the track more due to the rubber being able to "mold" into the porous track surface. Though more grippy, the tire will "fall apart' quicker because the grip will create abrasion which shreds the tire, most notably through turns and corners.

The hard tires, or white tires, have a much harder rubber compound. Unlike the soft tires, the rubber doesn't mold into the track surface as much. This will prevent the tire from wearing out quicker, with the tradeoff of less grip.

And medium tires or yellow ones are basically in the middle.

(All info is based off of a Chain Bear video, please correct me if I'm wrong about anything)

The blue walled extreme wet tyres are just used for pitstop training nowadays. 😂

[TomBomb]

Brings back supersoft and ultra soft tires

[Attilav.S.]

Like the classic music in the background!

[Dirk-van-den-Berg]

The problem is also that ALL tyres are being shredded by Pirelli, even if they haven't been used during the weekend. Which means that practically all blue tyres are getting shredded for no reason.

[Therustedsoup]

Rick's f1 addiction explains it best

[justhereforthememes]

Never had a clue that Hard Medium and Soft could be different week to week. Always figured there were just 3 compounds

[CalvinMeller]

What about the super soft tires marked with purple

[alwafia.]

what about the purple ones 🟣 ? I remember they also had purple

[lorenzomarchesi]

I know it made everybody mad, but when we had the rainbow from pink (ultrasoft) to orange (hard) it was way nicer. Hell, in my head white tyres are still mediums, yellow are softs and red are supersofts

just remembered that in 2018 they introduced hypersofts and superhard. Yeah, that was too much

[mxriiss]

Why are there no competitors for tyre production in f1. So much potential for science to make a change and essentially create the best traction regardless of weather & temp.
