Oh god! that ferrari look so hot...18inch rims its really a sporty f1 and all tires are narrow..hopefully
Small Diameter vs. Large Diameter
Small diameter wheels/tires are good for technical tracks, as they lower the center of gravity. Large diameter wheels/tires are for speed tracks. So without knowing anything, you might think that large diameters are the best for a fast car. However, I wouldn't ever suggest using large diameter wheels/tires. They may be fast, but are only good with a weaker motor and a larger gear ratio
Small diameters are supposidly fit with a stronger motor (more torque) and a smaller gear ratio . So small diameters would definitely be your choice for the perfect f1 car.
Narrow(2011 micheline if...will ever happen) vs. Wide
Narrow wheels/tires have less contact with the tracks, causing less friction and less drag, allowing the car to go faster. Wide wheels/tires have more contact with the tracks, causing more friction and more drag, allowing the car to be more stable, but slower. So, which type is better?
I would suggest using narrow wheels/tires on both the front and the back of the car. Narrows may not be as stable, but through my experiences, they work out just fine, and are faster than wides. However, if your car really appears to be unstable and tends to fly at times, try wide wheels/tires on the back.
