If slick tyres are used in F1, they’re good enough for me.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Make sure you use your tire warmers every morning.

[–] FinalRemix 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Use the butane crack torch. Got it.

[–] Aux 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Or just crack.

[–] Madison420 3 points 10 months ago

I'm not just gonna waste butane when I can multitask.

[–] Meltrax 68 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Should oil the brake pads too, don't want them to squeak.

A look to die for.

If it's not raining/snowing etc. then it's actually safer and better.

[–] NJA 13 points 10 months ago

A drive to the store would have the wires showing. These tires weren't designed for this

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

The tyres are worn down to a point they were never intended to run at, I don't know but the rubber compound could be completely different that far down, not to mention the risk of punctures.

[–] jcs 8 points 10 months ago

Well, safer and better in the driver's mind until they fly too close to the sun and realize following the accident that there was a puncture or that the rubber delaminated off the belt during the commute. This happened fairly regularly at the track I worked at, though that was more from folks running their slicks too long.

[–] Aux 6 points 10 months ago

No, it's not. Modern tyres are not just some rubber in the shape of a roundel. They have different layers of rubber, metal and other stuff. When you wear them down like that, you're not riding on the compound which is intended to make contact with the ground.

[–] Asudox 2 points 10 months ago

How exactly is it safer?

[–] [email protected] 40 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Same energy

[–] zzx 12 points 10 months ago

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Made me laugh more than my post did

[–] [email protected] 27 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Come on now, this meme has been getting reposted so much its starting to degrade.

[–] qisope 36 points 10 months ago (1 children)

hmmm, maybe someone has been sanding it down so it reposts smoother on the Internet

[–] saltesc 17 points 10 months ago

Well I'm tyred of it.

[–] coffeebiscuit 15 points 10 months ago

This meme is so old it should be retired.

[–] Thade780 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

We are checking

[–] birbboidaseed 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Box, box. No stay out. Stay out!

[–] Zyratoxx 1 points 10 months ago

So, do you want a new set of mediums or prefer a new set of hards? Question.

Smooth ride to the mortuary

[–] uis 17 points 10 months ago

Keep it this way, so Darwin can do his job

[–] UltraMagnus0001 15 points 10 months ago

racing slicks baby, more contact patch

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (3 children)

As with speed, as with smooth driving: start with the suspension.

[–] wreckedcarzz 27 points 10 months ago (1 children)

brb sanding down my suspension

[–] LemmyKnowsBest 13 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Why stop there? If sanding things down makes performance more optimal, I'mma sand down every component in my vehicle.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (2 children)

No no you're missing the point. Sand the road flat.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest 5 points 10 months ago

Aye

[–] Globulart 2 points 10 months ago

You're not thinking this all the way through, why sand flat when you can sand downhill?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Sanding down the pistons rn

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months ago

Those transmission gears would probably work way better without those teeth on 'em.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest 5 points 10 months ago

Attaboy!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Don't forget your camshafts.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

And the crankshaft bearings

[–] cosmicrookie 2 points 10 months ago

F1 is everything but smooth

[–] EatYouWell 1 points 10 months ago

It also plays a big role in towing capacity.

[–] kryostar 10 points 10 months ago

Each time this meme get reposted his tyre gets sanded down just a bit more.

[–] hakunawazo 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Also less microplastics by abrasion on the road.

[–] ramenshaman 9 points 10 months ago

OP already did all the abrasion in advance!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

Grip>displacement

[–] Egerbur 4 points 10 months ago

Thats a smooth way to see god.
