[QUOTE="M5POWER, post: 465303, member: 20112"] I'm not a physician but I think narrower tyres are good for wet surfaces as it will throw out as many water as possible from the contact of the tyre to the road surface. However, the narrower tyres has its own pros and cons too. They are extremely unstable to drive with especially with bigger cars like our 5-Series and such. Taking corners in high speed with those tyres could result in something really, really bad... If you are used to rallying, if they are having a rally in snow or most wet surfaces they will use a narrower tyres like this: [IMG]http://www.rally.ee/pics/galleries/id/4120/phpQUaflr1234113472_2.jpg[/IMG] Afterall, the tyres on our cars are the most optimum like Michelin PS3 etc... The problem with wider F1 car tyres are that they are just too wide. Eventhough they made a lot of threads on it, it is still very difficult to get rid of the waters right here while the car is going around 180km/h..: [IMG]http://lh5.ggpht.com/_McyojoCokzY/TMw5LbTnyRI/AAAAAAAAAvI/KK8sgFnaHCU/s800/Testing.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
