I don't follow F1 very closely these days, but I think I've read that they recently changed, are will change in the near future, to lower profile tires. Is that right? And that the teams have made, or will made, the suspension softer because low-profile tires contribute less?
Didn't somebody test a couple years ago with a set of wheels/tires that more closely resembled passenger car sidewall heights? You know, like 80-100mm sidewall heights instead of whatever they run currently? It seems nothing came of that; can you shed any light?
I have some data on this for a few different tyres but I don't think I can legally quote it here :(
