Pirelli F1 2022 Slick Front And Rear Tires (Real World Details)

Formula 1’s tires will undergo a transformation for 2022.

Gone are the 13-inch tires that have been present for decades, and in their place come 18-inch tires, again provided by sole supplier Pirelli, which has held the role since 2011. The new sizes are part of the wide-ranging technical changes being introduced for 2022.

It has been a challenging development program for Pirelli, which began in mid-2019, and was then prolonged when the pandemic prompted unanimous agreement for the new regulations to be deferred from 2021 until 2022.
