| 1356576 | 2013-10-23 01:00:00 | So my question is, why are low profile tyres not used on F1 racing cars? Just ruminating, but if we look at the width/height aspect ratio (profile) of an F1 tyre (front or rear), I wouldn't be too surprised if it turned out to be much the same aspect ratio as a V8 Supercar, so it could well be arguable that if viewed simply as a numbers game, the F1 tyres could be considered to be low profile. It might be a simple matter of visual perspective Just a passing thought......for what it's worth. I could be up a gum tree with a forest fire looming on the flank.......... Cheers Billy 8-{) :) |

| 1356577 | 2013-10-23 01:43:00 | ...... but I'd rather be able to get into the driveway without scraping the bottom of the car myself or hit a stone without destroying the RIM :) Perhaps you need the infamous Peter Brock ''Energy Polariser'' to protect the rims & make the car handle better A story so crazy its hard to believe. Putting hippy energy crystals in a car . |

It may have worked for Brock, but for all that he still ended up de-energising and depolarising himself with compressed wood, aka a tree. :stare: Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 1356580 | 2013-10-24 21:24:00 | He made a blue and fitted depolarised Di-Lithium crystals; that never works, so he lost his grip. Yeah well! A driver with his experience should oughta have known that if you want to use depolarised Di-Lithium crystals you gotta port and polish them first, and to maintain adequate traction in the presence of non-sentient organic roadside obstacles*, and they should be made of High-Density, Non-Linear, Heat-Treated, Stress-Tested, Pure-Bred, Low-Profile, Organically-Depolarised, Bio-Degradeable Di-Lithium as well. Using any Di-Lithium product with a descriptor that has fewer than eight hyphens is to invite disaster at the next available opportunity. Those N-S ORO's* are ruthless and I reckon there's more than a car-park knee-trembler quickie of Klingon hidden in there somewhere. Cheers Billy 8-{) :stare: |

That's just a vicious rumour Ciccy, Mrs T can vouch for the fact that my sidewalls don't wobble, and that my drifting is right up there with the best of them, on both incoming and outgoing tides!

| 1356583 | 2013-10-27 10:07:00 | Look at the colour scheme of F1 cars , - nose-to-tail-advertising. Low profile is the very last thing they want associated with their car. EMDW |
