Why do drag tires look like balloons!?

Why do drag tires look like balloons with no tread?

I've heard and known about this a long years ago but great information content

[GGSaayuu]

This tyre with s superbolar could actually revolutionize racing forever

[huggawagga]

The tires on star wrinkles =most contact pach witch in turn means more grip and as i goes it expands with centrifugal force as he said varying the contact pach effectively making the tire a top fuel drag cars gearbox

SIR I APPRECIATE YOUR CONTENT ❤.
NICE INFO THOUGH 🎉

Sure! Here’s an explanation in English about how an F-22 Raptor is built:

⸻

The F-22 Raptor is a fifth-generation fighter jet developed by Lockheed Martin, with key components made by Boeing and Pratt & Whitney. It’s designed for stealth, supercruise, agility, and situational awareness, making it one of the most advanced combat aircraft in the world.

Structure and Materials

The F-22 is built primarily with advanced composite materials, titanium, and aluminum to reduce weight and improve strength while minimizing its radar signature. The airframe is designed to be stealthy, with smooth surfaces, internal weapon bays, and special radar-absorbing materials (RAM).

Main Components
1. Fuselage: The central body houses avionics, fuel, and weapon bays. It’s built to minimize radar reflection using angled surfaces and RAM coatings.
2. Wings and Control Surfaces: The wings are trapezoidal for high maneuverability and speed. Control surfaces like rudders and flaps are also designed to reduce radar signature.
3. Engines: It uses two Pratt & Whitney F119-PW-100 turbofan engines, which give it the ability to supercruise (fly at supersonic speeds without afterburners) and thrust vectoring for extreme maneuverability.
4. Cockpit: The pilot sits in a bubble canopy for 360-degree visibility and uses a glass cockpit with touchscreens, HUD (Heads-Up Display), and helmet-integrated systems for better situational awareness.
5. Avionics and Sensors: It includes a radar (AN/APG-77 AESA radar), infrared sensors, electronic warfare systems, and data links that give it superior battlefield awareness.
6. Weapons Bays: All weapons are stored internally to preserve stealth. It can carry air-to-air missiles (like AIM-120 AMRAAMs and AIM-9 Sidewinders) and guided

The answer, in fact was not more complicated

The tires don't wrinkle up to act as a spring
. The tires wrinkle a lot because of the horsepower load and the low pressure they run in the tires to make the biggest contact patch
.. there are rules to how wide the tire can be per class so they run the tires low pressure as much as possible to make a bigger patch of traction and that's all. !! And they don't use drag slicks in road racing they are a completely different tire they put on formula 1 and indy cars and all kind of track cars completely different sidewalls that do not wrinkle.. wrinkle walls are great for a straight line but would instantly cause you to roll over in a turn... If you're going to talk about subjects about cars get someone who's an expert at it and not an amateur who dreams up crap that doesn't exist

Great video.
I have a question for anyone that can answer.
Since treadless tires are bad on a wet surface, why does it appear to me that the drag racing tracks almost always look as if they were sprayed with water?

[bo-dine]

Well, I'm pretty sure they've known about tread not gripping on roads since they stopped using bicycle-type wheels, so.. It's just that anyone can screw around with timing etc, but making your own tyres is basically impossible, especially ones for extreme sports like Drag..

Só why the f1 car. Smh aí vantagem diferentiate top fuel and f1?

[Simonedits-zu]

That is an F1 car. They have patterns on the tires stupid.
