• Slower Tyres a Fashion Statement.

    From build@24:150/2 to rec.autos.sport.f1 on Sat Jan 22 05:21:33 2022
    It's getting ridiculous when the cars are put on slower low profile tyres simply to go with a ridiculous fashion.
    As some of you know the Porsche's went from a proper race tyre to a low-profile some years ago. At Philip Island we lost 3 seconds a lap.
    I know with the aero changes the cars were supposed to be faster but the loss from the tyres will be difficult to gain back.

    Testing will be very interesting.

    AIUI Pirelli began asking for this some time ago, as the configuration
    is more relevant to development of the high-performance tires they are
    making for street use.

    They wanted to slow the cars by up to 5 seconds for the start of the
    season. Those in the know reckon it will be closer to just 0.5 seconds.
    Ferrari speculate that they will be faster than 2021 on some of the
    high speed circuits while much slower on street tracks.

    The aero changes were not supposed to be faster.

    Testing will be very interesting.

    From everything I've read to date, I'd say they're stiffer in absolute
    terms than the ones on the 13" wheels, but that allows you (at least in theory) to run lower pressures without the tire deforming to the point
    where it loses grip.

    Tire grip is maximized where the curve of the friction from the tread in contact with the road (which is higher at lower pressures) and the curve
    of deformation of the tires structure (which is higher at lower pressures).

    Basically, if the pressure is too high, there won't be as much tread in contact with the road as the contact patch is found by dividing the
    vertical load by the pressure. But if the pressure is too low, you'll
    start with a large contact patch, but the distortion of the carcass will reduce it again.

    Did the Porsche have McPherson struts? They are crap with ultra-low profile tyres.

    AIUI the new tyres are not even "low profile".

    Unless I have figured it wrongly the rear tyre is a 405/65 R18 (like
    many higher profile road cars) and the front a higher AR at 305/86 R18
    (very much higher profile than most road cars.

    I stand to be corrected.

    What fascinates me is that people could possibly believe that a wheel
    size rule written decades ago could have just by happenstance produced
    the acme of tire grip.

    As far as I know, one of the main reasons why they're
    switching to 18-inch wheels is so that it's easier for the

    Not quite.

    Consumer fashion follows what works in racing and high performance cars...

    ...but then exaggerates.

    So consumers saw the cambers being run on racing cars...

    ...and now we have "stanced" cars with ridiculous negative camber.

    That the enthusiasts have overdone it doesn't mean that the negative
    camber you see on (say) an Indycar doesn't work.

    It's the same with low profile tires.

    Getting the best grip out of a tire is a battle between two factors that
    are in opposition to each other with respect to inflation pressure.

    The nature of rubber/pavement friction is such that lower pressures mean
    more grip due to a larger, lower pressure contact patch.

    But lower pressures mean less overall stiffness of the tire carcass...

    ...which leads to the more distortion of the contact patch...

    ...which means a smaller contact patch...

    ...and less grip.

    One of the ways to change the balance is to make the carcass stiffer.

    Which you can do by making the sidewalls shorter... ...and (to keep the overall diameter the same) the wheel bigger.


    Can you overdo it? Of course.

    But they idea that 13" is some sort of automatic "ideal"...

    ...no.

    I thought is was to enable decent sized tyres to fit on the wheels, the
    tyres now having a reduced-height sidewall (ie lower profile) to address lateral flexing issues.

    There's no doubt in my mind that if there were no rule mandating a wheel diameter, F1 would be using large diameters.

    Would that diameter be 18"?

    ...

    I don't know.

    But given that no series that isn't limited by regulation to 13" runs
    13" rims...

    No. They would keep the sidewall. Take away the flex of the sidewall and it breaks traction. As Pirelli have said the new tyres are 4 seconds slower ! That's Pirelli saying that, not me.
    These tyres are nothing more than a fashion statement. Any physicist or engineer will tell you the same. Only a fool would disagree.
    I've driven on both on the same car. The low profile were a real bitch and needed a very different, very gentle, approach.

    I find it hilarious that people believe that 13" is some magic number
    with respect to wheel diameter.

    I challenge anyone to show a road racing class that uses 13" rims that
    isn't doing so because it's a rule.

    problem.

    PirellirCOs Formula 1 boss Mario Isola: "We are obviously very
    happy as moving to an 18-inch tire is good for our technology
    transfer from race to road, because the sizes are a lot more
    relevant compared to the 13-inch."

    https://www.autoweek.com/racing/formula-1/a38593154/why-formula-1-18-inch-tires-expect/




    Pretty much what I posted in this thread five days ago.

    There's no doubt in my mind that if there were no rule mandating a
    wheel diameter, F1 would be using large diameters.

    Would that diameter be 18"?

    No. They would keep the sidewall. Take away the flex of the sidewall
    and it breaks traction. As Pirelli have said the new tyres are 4
    seconds slower ! That's Pirelli saying that, not me.

    So why don't they use 13" rims at LeMans?

    Don't they face precisely the same challenge?

    Even if Pirelli is saying that (and I'd like to see the quote), we
    already know that Pirelli is controlling the lap times and life times of
    F1 tires by the way they are designed.

    If they are saying that, why do you imagine it's an inevitable result of
    the increase in wheel diameter, and not something that the FIA has asked
    for?


    These tyres are nothing more than a fashion statement. Any physicist
    or engineer will tell you the same. Only a fool would disagree.

    I've driven on both on the same car. The low profile were a real
    bitch and needed a very different, very gentle, approach.

    Yes. Low profile tires ARE less forgiving.

    So too, BTW, are slicks as opposed to treaded tires.

    In both cases, the low profile tire and the slick require greater
    precision from the driver, because the transition from having grip to
    not having grip gives less warning and is more abrupt.

    That doesn't mean that slicks will be slower, right?

    So why do you assume that low profile means slower?



    ...

    I don't know.

    But given that no series that isn't limited by regulation to 13"
    runs 13" rims...

    ...I'm pretty sure it would be larger.

    You'd be very wrong. Ask any racing engineer.

    Tell me which racing engineers you asked to form your opinion first.

    405/30R18.'

    'Front tyres 31/71-18
    Rear tyres 31/71-18'

    <https://toyotagazooracing.com/wec/cars/2017/>

    As far as I know, one of the main reasons why they're
    switching to 18-inch wheels is so that it's easier for the
    viewers to associate the pirellis to actual road tyres.


    I thought is was to enable decent sized tyres to fit on the
    wheels, the tyres now having a reduced-height sidewall (ie
    lower profile) to address lateral flexing issues.

    I think Pirelli wanted this for a couple of reasons:

    Yes. It now matches more with what their customers think of
    as a high performance tire.


    How do the profiles compare?

    What do you mean?


    You know what a tyre profile is?

    Yes, but you didn't say "How do the tire profiles compare?" now did
    you?


    Lol, what is the discussion about?

    Have you never bought tyres?

    Maybe it's different in Canada. Let me check. No, it's the same.

    Let me try again. How do the ratio's compare? is that easier?

    You mean "aspect ratio", right?

    Well let's look.

    I'll lift this text, because I can't see any point in reinventing the
    wheel (see what I did there? EfyA):

    'The new tire sizes for F1 starting in 2022 are 305/720R18 and
    405/720R18. That's the equivalent (more or less) to 305/45R18 and
    405/30R18.'

    And here's the first LMP1 spec I came across:


    Not a road tyre.

    "It now matches more with what their customers think of
    as a high performance tire."

    So what did you mean by that?

    Translated to what? garbage?

    Translated to values in millimetres rather than centimetres.

    "Stop being a fuckwit for two minutes."


    ...or almost the same size as the F1 front tire.



    But also, all the other high-end series that Pirelli makes

    wheel diameter instead of the more common racing usage of section width, overall diameter and wheel diameter.

    The numbers for the Toyota LeMans car become

    310/41R18

    So the two tires are very nearly the same "profile".

    So the fuckwit remains you.




    ...or almost the same size as the F1 front tire.



    But also, all the other high-end series that Pirelli makes
    tires for...

    ...they use tires that are much more like what F1's new
    tires are going to be. So there's more commonality in the
    design problem.

    Give some examples.

    You're joking. Seriously?

    Pirelli has said precisely this.

    So you can't. Nevermind then.

    I can and just did.

    Nope. But go ahead.

    I just showed that Le Mans cars are using tires almost precisely the
    same size as F1's front tires.

    In what way is that not what you wanted?

    No answer.

    Got it.




    But do you deny that Pirelli said that?

    ?

    Do you deny that Pirelli has said that F1's new tires sizes are more
    relevant to the design of their other high performance tires?

    Why would I, were you lying, again?

    I notice that's not actually an answer.

    You're very dim, and I should ignore you, but just this once:

    There are only 3 possibilities:

    1. 13" is the perfect size.

    2. The perfect size is larger.

    3. The perfect size is smaller.

    Not quite.

    Consumer fashion follows what works in racing and high performance cars...

    ...but then exaggerates.

    So consumers saw the cambers being run on racing cars...

    ...and now we have "stanced" cars with ridiculous negative camber.

    That the enthusiasts have overdone it doesn't mean that the negative
    camber you see on (say) an Indycar doesn't work.

    It's the same with low profile tires.

    Getting the best grip out of a tire is a battle between two factors
    that are in opposition to each other with respect to inflation
    pressure.

    The nature of rubber/pavement friction is such that lower pressures
    mean more grip due to a larger, lower pressure contact patch.

    But lower pressures mean less overall stiffness of the tire carcass...

    ...which leads to the more distortion of the contact patch...

    ...which means a smaller contact patch...

    ...and less grip.

    One of the ways to change the balance is to make the carcass stiffer.

    Which you can do by making the sidewalls shorter... ...and (to keep
    the overall diameter the same) the wheel bigger.


    Can you overdo it? Of course.

    But they idea that 13" is some sort of automatic "ideal"...

    ...no.


    Oh wow. I've never thought of it that way. But that makes sense.

    Pirelli is a business and so anything that enhances their brand is going
    to be important to them.

    But the simple fact is that high performance cars aren't using low
    profile tires because they look cooler.

    A Ferrari 308 started out with 205/70R14 tires.

    Then it got 220/55R390 tires (390mm is 15.375")

    The 328 that replaced it was close to the same...

    ...but the 348 that replaced that had 215/50R17 tires in front, and
    255/45R17 rears.

    The F355 that replaced that had wider, lower profile tires still, and
    the trend has continued.

    And believe me:

    Ferrari doesn't do that for style.

    The Ferrari 488 can circulate the skidpad at about 1.02g...

    ...the 308: 0.81g

    Now some of that is down to the choice of tire compound, I'm sure.

    But not all.

    You're very dim, and I should ignore you, but just this once:

    There are only 3 possibilities:

    1. 13" is the perfect size.

    2. The perfect size is larger.

    3. The perfect size is smaller.

    4. There is no "perfect" size.

    Like many things it is a compromise.
    There are arguments for larger rims e.g. brake size
    There are arguments for smaller sidewalls e.g. stability
    There are arguments for the larger sidewalls as argued above.

    It's getting ridiculous when the cars are put on

    lost 3 seconds a lap. I know with the aero
    changes the cars were supposed to be faster but
    the loss from the tyres will be difficult to
    gain back.

    Testing will be very interesting.

    build

    As far as I know, one of the main reasons why
    they're switching to 18-inch wheels is so that
    it's easier for the viewers to associate the
    pirellis to actual road tyres.


    I thought is was to enable decent sized tyres to
    fit on the wheels, the tyres now having a
    reduced-height sidewall (ie lower profile) to
    address lateral flexing issues.

    I think Pirelli wanted this for a couple of reasons:

    Yes. It now matches more with what their customers
    think of as a high performance tire.


    How do the profiles compare?

    What do you mean?


    You know what a tyre profile is?

    Yes, but you didn't say "How do the tire profiles compare?"
    now did you?


    Lol, what is the discussion about?

    Stop being a fuckwit for two minutes.

    Have you never bought tyres?

    Maybe it's different in Canada. Let me check. No, it's the
    same.

    Let me try again. How do the ratio's compare? is that
    easier?

    You mean "aspect ratio", right?

    Well let's look.

    I'll lift this text, because I can't see any point in
    reinventing the wheel (see what I did there? EfyA):

    'The new tire sizes for F1 starting in 2022 are 305/720R18 and 405/720R18. That's the equivalent (more or less) to 305/45R18
    and 405/30R18.'

    And here's the first LMP1 spec I came across:


    Not a road tyre.

    "It now matches more with what their customers think of
    as a high performance tire."

    So what did you mean by that?

    "Stop being a fuckwit for two minutes."


    So you don't know what you meant or are unable to elaborate
    proffering to confirm your "fuckwit" status.

    Try again. What do you mean by "what their customers think of as a
    high performance tire." You had something in mind when you wrote
    that but it doesn't relate well to the rest of your post, so
    explain "what their customers think of as a high performance tire."


    <crickets>



    'Front tyres 31/71-18
    Rear tyres 31/71-18'

    <https://toyotagazooracing.com/wec/cars/2017/>

    Translated, that's 310/710R18...


    Translated to what? garbage?

    Translated to values in millimetres rather than centimetres.

    "Stop being a fuckwit for two minutes."


    We are talking tyre profile and you have yet to provide any
    comparison of profile.

    Who is being the fuckwit?

    Oh... ...you're not knowledgeable enough to realize that:

    305/720R18

    Gives you the exact same information as:

    305/43R18


    Wrong, that something can be deduced is far from being easily
    comparable.
    Also if you have been paying attention to the thread in the slightest
    you know you differently and are basically lying, again.

    Yet you still choose not to give easily comparable profile figures.

    Hiding something... like ignorance?

    That is the F1 front tire re-written as section width, aspect ratio
    and wheel diameter instead of the more common racing usage of section
    width, overall diameter and wheel diameter.

    The numbers for the Toyota LeMans car become

    310/41R18

    So the two tires are very nearly the same "profile".

    So the fuckwit remains you.




    ...or almost the same size as the F1 front tire.



    But also, all the other high-end series that Pirelli
    makes tires for...

    ...they use tires that are much more like what F1's
    new tires are going to be. So there's more
    commonality in the design problem.

    Give some examples.

    You're joking. Seriously?

    Pirelli has said precisely this.

    So you can't. Nevermind then.

    I can and just did.

    Nope. But go ahead.

    I just showed that Le Mans cars are using tires almost precisely
    the same size as F1's front tires.

    In what way is that not what you wanted?

    No answer.

    Got it.




    But do you deny that Pirelli said that?

    ?

    Do you deny that Pirelli has said that F1's new tires sizes are
    more relevant to the design of their other high performance tires?

    Why would I, were you lying, again?

    I notice that's not actually an answer.

    Of course it is an answer, I was clear that I had no reason to deny
    such a claim but okay let's test the claim.

    Do you deny that you have failed to substantiate any such a claim?

    I hadn't considered that you might be fabricating but now that you
    suggest it perhaps you should provide a cite as I don't recall reading
    of them saying that.


    "No response, I get it"

    I am pretty sure I have only read about claimed relevancy to road
    tyres.

    I stand to be corrected.




    You have figured it VERY wrongly.

    Then correct me.


    Sure. But if you'd actually been reading, I already did in another thread.

    Road tires are designated by section width then the section height
    expressed as a percentage and then finally the wheel diameter.

    So BMW (for instance) has 215/40R18 front tires and 245/35R18 rear tires.

    However, racing tires are often designated simply by section width,
    overall diameter and wheel size.

    So F1 tires are sized (in mm for width and overall diameter) as
    305/720R18 front and 405/720R18

    Converting from one to the other involves taking the overall diameter
    (720) subtracting the wheel diameter (which you convert to millimetres,
    so 457.2) then you divide by 2 before dividing by the width (305 or 405).

    Where you went wrong was failing to divide by two, so you got:

    (720-457.2)/305 = 0.86 (86%)
    (720-457.2)/405 = 0.86 (65%)

    I think the reason I didn't pick up the error is that I was expecting relatively high numbers.

    It's not until I thought about what is being calculated that I realised
    that the width of the tyre on an F1 car means that for a similar
    profile the sidewall is proportionally larger.

    That is why these do not look like low profile road tyres but more like
    the tyres on van the I use for the dogs. 215/55 R16

    If you scale down 720 R18 to the vans tyre diameter you get a 16" rim
    so pretty much dead on analogy.

    To have a 720mm wheel that looked like a low profile road car tyre (say
    a 225/45R18) you'd have to have a 19.6"rim or to look like a 225/40 R19
    the rims would have to be another inch bigger than that.

    So while they look more like road tyres from the side they do not
    resemble "fashionable" low profile road tyres at all.

    You have figured it VERY wrongly.

    Then correct me.


    So F1 tires are sized (in mm for width and overall diameter) as
    305/720R18 front and 405/720R18

    Converting from one to the other involves taking the overall
    diameter (720) subtracting the wheel diameter (which you convert
    to millimetres, so 457.2) then you divide by 2

    I thought that was probably what I had missed.

    .... and..... I just realised I could have simply halved your sidewall
    to width ratios Bigbird to come up with the figures that I painstakingly calculated.

    Yup!

    It is amusing that a guy who wants to argue so much of the technical information about F1 doesn't understand something so basic as how racing
    tire sizes are designated and how it relates to the way that road tire
    sizes are called out.

    So while they look more like road tyres from the side they do
    not resemble "fashionable" low profile road tyres at all.



    The rare admission: didn't understand the formula.

    A common admission: "don't understand a word you utter."


    It is amusing that a guy who wants to argue so much of the technical
    information about F1 doesn't understand something so basic as how
    racing tire sizes are designated and how it relates to the way that
    road tire sizes are called out.

    What a ridiculous sentence. You have a very loose hold on reality
    and/or are fabricating in order to be an annoying little cunt.

    It's pretty clear you have been on a steep learning curve the last few
    days.

    Unlike you I don't claim knowledge or expertise that is well beyond the
    scope of what is actually true.

    Until this thread was started I hadn't considered what the tyre profile referred to and from the way you have been writing and how long it took
    you to pick up on my error (despite spending your life on these groups)
    it doesn't appear you knew any better.

    Lying is a repugnant trait, one that you embrace frequently but don't
    let it define you.


    I'll just leave this here:

    'Ummmm... ...no.

    The "60" indicates that the section height of the tire is 60% of the
    section width of the tire (the "185" or "195" in the size; which is not
    tread width, BTW), and both of these figures are nominal and not
    necessarily completely precise.

    So a 185/60R14 tire is (nominally!) 185mm wide at its widest point (the
    tread is narrower and (nominally!) 2 * (185 * .6)/25.4 + 14 = 22.74"
    tall.'

    That was written in 2010.

    If you had any class, you'd apologize.

    road-relevance they don't use nomenclature that buyers of road
    car tyres understand).

    I think the reason I didn't pick up the error is that I was
    expecting relatively high numbers.

    It's not until I thought about what is being calculated that I
    realised that the width of the tyre on an F1 car means that for
    a similar profile the sidewall is proportionally larger.

    That is why these do not look like low profile road tyres but
    more like the tyres on van the I use for the dogs. 215/55 R16

    If you scale down 720 R18 to the vans tyre diameter you get a
    16" rim so pretty much dead on analogy.

    To have a 720mm wheel that looked like a low profile road car
    tyre (say a 225/45R18) you'd have to have a 19.6"rim or to look

    Converting from one to the other involves taking the
    overall diameter (720) subtracting the wheel diameter
    (which you convert to millimetres, so 457.2) then you
    divide by 2

    I thought that was probably what I had missed.

    Well caught.

    If only you could manage to do it without looking a
    fucking ASSHOLE.

    A test you have yet to pass.

    :-D

    So I make them to be roughly:

    405/32R18 on the rear and 305/43R18 on the front.

    I stand to be corrected (and wonder why, if they want
    road-relevance they don't use nomenclature that buyers of
    road car tyres understand).

    I think the reason I didn't pick up the error is that I was
    expecting relatively high numbers.

    It's not until I thought about what is being calculated
    that I realised that the width of the tyre on an F1 car
    means that for a similar profile the sidewall is
    proportionally larger.

    That is why these do not look like low profile road tyres
    but more like the tyres on van the I use for the dogs.
    215/55 R16

    If you scale down 720 R18 to the vans tyre diameter you get
    a 16" rim so pretty much dead on analogy.

    To have a 720mm wheel that looked like a low profile road
    car tyre (say a 225/45R18) you'd have to have a 19.6"rim or
    to look like a 225/40 R19 the rims would have to be another
    inch bigger than that.

    So while they look more like road tyres from the side they
    do not resemble "fashionable" low profile road tyres at all.



    The rare admission: didn't understand the formula.

    A common admission: "don't understand a word you utter."


    It is amusing that a guy who wants to argue so much of the
    technical information about F1 doesn't understand something so
    basic as how racing tire sizes are designated and how it relates
    to the way that road tire sizes are called out.

    What a ridiculous sentence. You have a very loose hold on reality
    and/or are fabricating in order to be an annoying little cunt.

    It's pretty clear you have been on a steep learning curve the last
    few days.

    Unlike you I don't claim knowledge or expertise that is well beyond
    the scope of what is actually true.

    Until this thread was started I hadn't considered what the tyre
    profile referred to and from the way you have been writing and how
    long it took you to pick up on my error (despite spending your life
    on these groups) it doesn't appear you knew any better.

    Lying is a repugnant trait, one that you embrace frequently but
    don't let it define you.


    I'll just leave this here:

    'Ummmm... ...no.

    The "60" indicates that the section height of the tire is 60% of the
    section width of the tire (the "185" or "195" in the size; which is
    not tread width, BTW), and both of these figures are nominal and not
    necessarily completely precise.

    So a 185/60R14 tire is (nominally!) 185mm wide at its widest point
    (the tread is narrower and (nominally!) 2 * (185 * .6)/25.4 + 14 =
    22.74" tall.'

    So F1 tires are sized (in mm for width and overall
    diameter) as 305/720R18 front and 405/720R18

    Converting from one to the other involves taking
    the overall diameter (720) subtracting the wheel
    diameter (which you convert to millimetres, so
    457.2) then you divide by 2

    I thought that was probably what I had missed.

    Well caught.

    If only you could manage to do it without looking a
    fucking ASSHOLE.

    A test you have yet to pass.

    :-D

    So I make them to be roughly:

    405/32R18 on the rear and 305/43R18 on the front.

    I stand to be corrected (and wonder why, if they want
    road-relevance they don't use nomenclature that
    buyers of road car tyres understand).

    I think the reason I didn't pick up the error is that I
    was expecting relatively high numbers.

    It's not until I thought about what is being calculated
    that I realised that the width of the tyre on an F1 car
    means that for a similar profile the sidewall is
    proportionally larger.

    That is why these do not look like low profile road
    tyres but more like the tyres on van the I use for the
    dogs. 215/55 R16

    If you scale down 720 R18 to the vans tyre diameter you
    get a 16" rim so pretty much dead on analogy.

    To have a 720mm wheel that looked like a low profile
    road car tyre (say a 225/45R18) you'd have to have a
    19.6"rim or to look like a 225/40 R19 the rims would
    have to be another inch bigger than that.

    So while they look more like road tyres from the side
    they do not resemble "fashionable" low profile road
    tyres at all.



    The rare admission: didn't understand the formula.

    A common admission: "don't understand a word you utter."


    It is amusing that a guy who wants to argue so much of the
    technical information about F1 doesn't understand something so
    basic as how racing tire sizes are designated and how it
    relates to the way that road tire sizes are called out.

    What a ridiculous sentence. You have a very loose hold on
    reality and/or are fabricating in order to be an annoying
    little cunt.

    It's pretty clear you have been on a steep learning curve the
    last few days.

    Unlike you I don't claim knowledge or expertise that is well
    beyond the scope of what is actually true.

    Until this thread was started I hadn't considered what the tyre
    profile referred to and from the way you have been writing and
    how long it took you to pick up on my error (despite spending
    your life on these groups) it doesn't appear you knew any
    better.

    Lying is a repugnant trait, one that you embrace frequently but
    don't let it define you.

    It's getting ridiculous when the
    cars are put on slower low
    profile tyres simply to go with a ridiculous fashion.

    AIUI the new tyres are not even "low profile".

    Unless I have figured it wrongly the
    rear tyre is a 405/65 R18 (like many
    higher profile road cars) and the
    front a higher AR at 305/86 R18
    (very much higher profile than most
    road cars.

    I stand to be corrected.




    You have figured it VERY wrongly.

    Then correct me.


    So F1 tires are sized (in mm for width and overall diameter) as 305/720R18 front and 405/720R18

    Converting from one to the other involves
    taking the overall diameter (720)
    subtracting the wheel diameter (which you
    convert to millimetres, so 457.2) then
    you divide by 2

    I thought that was probably what I had
    missed.

    Well caught.

    If only you could manage to do it without
    looking a fucking ASSHOLE.

    A test you have yet to pass.

    :-D

    So I make them to be roughly:

    405/32R18 on the rear and 305/43R18 on the
    front.

    I stand to be corrected (and wonder why, if
    they want road-relevance they don't use
    nomenclature that buyers of road car tyres understand).

    I think the reason I didn't pick up the error is
    that I was expecting relatively high numbers.

    It's not until I thought about what is being
    calculated that I realised that the width of the
    tyre on an F1 car means that for a similar
    profile the sidewall is proportionally larger.

    That is why these do not look like low profile
    road tyres but more like the tyres on van the I
    use for the dogs. 215/55 R16

    If you scale down 720 R18 to the vans tyre
    diameter you get a 16" rim so pretty much dead
    on analogy.

    To have a 720mm wheel that looked like a low
    profile road car tyre (say a 225/45R18) you'd
    have to have a 19.6"rim or to look like a
    225/40 R19 the rims would have to be another
    inch bigger than that.

    So while they look more like road tyres from the
    side they do not resemble "fashionable" low
    profile road tyres at all.



    The rare admission: didn't understand the formula.

    A common admission: "don't understand a word you
    utter."


    It is amusing that a guy who wants to argue so much
    of the technical information about F1 doesn't
    understand something so basic as how racing tire
    sizes are designated and how it relates to the way
    that road tire sizes are called out.

    What a ridiculous sentence. You have a very loose hold
    on reality and/or are fabricating in order to be an
    annoying little cunt.

    It's pretty clear you have been on a steep learning
    curve the last few days.

    Unlike you I don't claim knowledge or expertise that is
    well beyond the scope of what is actually true.

    Until this thread was started I hadn't considered what
    the tyre profile referred to and from the way you have
    been writing and how long it took you to pick up on my
    error (despite spending your life on these groups) it
    doesn't appear you knew any better.

    Lying is a repugnant trait, one that you embrace
    frequently but don't let it define you.

    So you looked, saw it was all books on vehicle dynamics, and
    punked.

    Another falsehood; you demonstrate your unintelligence and
    dishonesty so readily.

    LOL

    "Drive to Win"
    "Prepare to Win"
    "Tune to Win"
    "Engineer to Win: Understanding Race Car Dynamics"

    All by Carroll Smith. Heard of him? Probably not.

    "Chassis Engineering" by Herb Adams

    "Race Car Aerodynamics" by Joseph Katz

    "How to Make Your Car Handle" by Fred Puhn

    "Race & Rally Car Source Book" by Allan Staniforth


    So you admit your falsehood.

    What falsehood would that be?


    Just a few of the books salient to the topic I own and have read
    and re-read over the years.

    LOL!

    A claim proving what of any relevance exactly?

    That when it comes to knowing what tire profile is...

    ...I most definitely did.


    Nope. No more than having gardening books prove I know what a perennial
    is.

    :-)



    So since you claimed that:

    "It's pretty clear you have been on a steep learning curve the
    last few days."


    That is indeed the impression you gave.

    That's the impression of an ignoramus on the subject matter.


    Those are the words of an ignorant cunt.


    Maybe you just can't help writing like a dumb cunt who just learned something new.

    And that I supposedly:

    "...claim knowledge or expertise that is well beyond the scope of
    what is actually true."


    Now that is something you have proven repeatedly over the years.

    Not really.


    No, really... really quite a lot.


    And by your standards when I make a declarative statement you
    claim is false, you say I'm a "liar"...

    ...what would you say you are?

    Never mind the unambiguous truth that you can't have actually
    known what my knowledge in this area was when you made those statements...

    ...and that you KNEW you couldn't have actually know.

    Yeah, never mind pertinent facts when lies come so easily to you.

    What "pertinent facts", hmmm?

    What "lies"?

    I knew what tire profile was...

    ...you were clueless.


    Demonstrating your ignorance yet again.

    I clearly knew what a profile was I simply have never had reason to
    calculate it an overlooked something; algebra not ignorance.

    That's a pertinent fact.

    YAWN!

    Nope.

    You didn't "do the math wrong".

    You failed at the basic understanding that "profile" in the context of
    tire sizes refers to the height of the tires SECTION expressed a
    percentage of the width of that same section...

    ...AND that that necessarily means that there is two times that height
    in the overall diameter of a tire.

    Wheel diameter plus TWO times section height.

    That is a failure of ignorance.

    Wrong.

    Stop proving how stupid you are. We already have a pretty good idea.

    I read that the profile is the ratio of width to sidewall and
    miscalculated because I calculated the tyre width less the rim width.

    Claiming you know otherwise is a falsehood; a damn lie when repeatedly
    asserted as you have.

    Something you have made a habit of.

    You are literally an habitual liar.

    If it had actually been a concept you understood, you would have done

    Wrong. You really are that stupid.

    I recently threw out a a dozen or more gardening books.

    What would you have inferred if I had sent you a picture of
    them on my book shelf?

    That you'd read a lot of books about gardening and so probably
    knew what you were talking about on that subject.


    ...and you'd be wrong.


    Now ask yourself the purpose of posting an unsolicited
    picture of you in your underwear or whatever it was.

    It was a picture of those books.

    Then why did you assume I'd seen it when I alluded to it being a picture of you in your underwear?


    A lot of talk,

    Lol, you can do better than that; it is a lot of making you look
    stupid and ignorant.

    but it still boils down to you being unable to
    apologize for being completely wrong about the depth of my
    knowledge on this subject...

    ...which makes your knowledge on the subject look laughable.

    What a ridiculous non-sequitur.

    What it boils down to is you proving that you are an ignorant cunt
    who frequently reverts to falsehoods and misrepresentations.



    I've been right about everything on this subject, sunshine.

    Deal with it.

    You are an habitual liar and have misrepresented me and my posts like
    the habitual liar you have proven to be.

    I am dealing with that!

    What "pertinent facts", hmmm?

    What "lies"?

    I knew what tire profile was...

    ...you were clueless.

    Demonstrating your ignorance yet again.

    I clearly knew what a profile was I simply have never had
    reason to calculate it an overlooked something; algebra not
    ignorance.


    Nope.

    You didn't "do the math wrong".

    If you did one thing correctly you identified where my mathematics
    was at fault.

    No. I identified where your idea of what "profile" meant in the
    context of tires was wrong.


    Wrong.

    Stop proving how stupid you are. We already have a pretty good idea.

    I read that the profile is the ratio of width to sidewall and
    miscalculated because I calculated the tyre width less the rim width.

    No. You misunderstood what you read and calculated profile based on subtracting rim DIAMETER from overall diameter and failed to understand
    that since profile IS the ratio of sidewall height to overall tire
    section width that you would need to allow for the fact that there are
    two instances of the sidewall height in overall diameter.

    If you want, I'll take your erroneous figures and demonstrate your
    ignorance for you in more rigorous terms.

    No, but I assume I guessed correctly then.

    Listen to yourself.

    You're too stupid for words.

    Do you want me to prove it to you mathematically?

    You can't.

    I know exactly what I did.

    Your conceit and dishonesty are amusing but in a tiresome, bored of
    watching the puppy eat it's own shit, kind of way.


    Or how about I simply point out that there was no "rim width"
    provided, so you couldn't possibly have based any of your
    calculations on a figure you didn't even have?

    The rim diameter you stupid twat.

    ...you were clueless.

    Demonstrating your ignorance yet again.

    I clearly knew what a profile was I simply have never
    had reason to calculate it an overlooked something;
    algebra not ignorance.


    Nope.

    You didn't "do the math wrong".

    If you did one thing correctly you identified where my
    mathematics was at fault.

    No. I identified where your idea of what "profile" meant in
    the context of tires was wrong.


    Wrong.

    Stop proving how stupid you are. We already have a pretty good
    idea.

    I read that the profile is the ratio of width to sidewall and
    miscalculated because I calculated the tyre width less the rim
    width.

    No. You misunderstood what you read and calculated profile based
    on subtracting rim DIAMETER from overall diameter and failed to
    understand that since profile IS the ratio of sidewall height to
    overall tire section width that you would need to allow for the
    fact that there are two instances of the sidewall height in
    overall diameter.


    Lol, you claim to know what I did better than I do.

    I do because it's true.


    :-)

    You've lost your stupid little mind.

    Would you like to see the math?


    The maths that proves you know what I did better than I do?
    It's alright I'll leave your fantasies to you.


    There is conceit and there is sheer stupidity.

    If you want, I'll take your erroneous figures and demonstrate your
    ignorance for you in more rigorous terms.

    You can't, you have only confirmed your own. I told you what I did
    and you lied like the lying cunt you are.

    No. You got it wrong what you got wrong.


    Listen to yourself.

    You're too stupid for words.

    Do you want me to prove it to you mathematically?

    You can't.

    I know exactly what I did.

    Your conceit and dishonesty are amusing but in a tiresome, bored of
    watching the puppy eat it's own shit, kind of way.


    Or how about I simply point out that there was no "rim width"
    provided, so you couldn't possibly have based any of your
    calculations on a figure you didn't even have?

    The rim diameter you stupid twat.



    So you calculated "tire width less rim diameter" now?

    Dude... ...you're thrashing.

    The key point is that you didn't understand that the the profile height
    is included twice in the overall diameter.

    Your failure wasn't your arithmetic: it was your understanding of the situation to begin with.

    See this is what I mean by you assuming that I'm wrong or lying when
    it's just that you're ignorant.

    There was no figure for rim width provided in the tire sizes that were
    under discussion.

    The figures used to do the calculations to convert from racing tire
    sizing nomenclature to street tire nomenclature were:

    305/720R18 front and 405/720R18 rear.

    There is no RIM width in there.

    305 & 405 are the TIRE section widths.

    So first you got your calculation wrong because you didn't understand
    that there are two tire profile heights in the overall diameter.

    Then you claimed you "calculated the tyre width less the rim
    width", which makes no sense BOTH because the rim width wasn't given AND because it doesn't give you any number that in any way figures into the process of converting the nomenclature.

    Then you said you mean "rim diameter" and so your statement became, "calculated the tyre width less the rim diameter", and that result
    doesn't figure into the calculation you were supposed to do.

    Then, because I can actually understand what your stated numbers imply,
    I can tell you what you actually DID.

    "Unless I have figured it wrongly the rear tyre is a 405/65 R18 (like
    many higher profile road cars) and the front a higher AR at 305/86 R18
    (very much higher profile than most road cars."

    What you actually DID was subtract the rim diameter (RD) from the
    overall diameter (OD) and then divide by the section width. I know this, because both of your figures for tire profile height ratio ("65" and
    "86") are precisely TWICE the correct figure.

    Ergo, you failed to understand that OD-RD is TWICE the tire profile height.

    Rim width isn't needed to calculate the tire's profile number.

    It is (overall diameter in millimetres minus rim diameter) then divided
    by two, then divided by section width, then multiplied by 100 to be
    expressed as an implicit percentage.


    Does your ignorance know no bounds?

    So where does RIM width figure in the calculation you claim you mean to

    The FIA technical regulations as well as several sites who quoted

    Not an answer.

    It doesn't. I have not only implied this directly in answer to your

    If you disbelieve me then come up with how I made those calculations
    using rim width.

    Write it out.

    You don't believe half the shit you write... and you know it is shit.

    What "lies"?

    I knew what tire profile was...

    ...you were clueless.

    Demonstrating your ignorance yet again.

    I clearly knew what a profile was I simply have
    never had reason to calculate it an overlooked
    something; algebra not ignorance.


    Nope.

    You didn't "do the math wrong".

    If you did one thing correctly you identified where
    my mathematics was at fault.

    No. I identified where your idea of what "profile"
    meant in the context of tires was wrong.


    Wrong.

    Stop proving how stupid you are. We already have a
    pretty good idea.

    I read that the profile is the ratio of width to
    sidewall and miscalculated because I calculated the
    tyre width less the rim width.

    No. You misunderstood what you read and calculated profile
    based on subtracting rim DIAMETER from overall diameter
    and failed to understand that since profile IS the ratio
    of sidewall height to overall tire section width that you
    would need to allow for the fact that there are two
    instances of the sidewall height in overall diameter.


    Lol, you claim to know what I did better than I do.

    I do because it's true.


    :-)

    You've lost your stupid little mind.

    Would you like to see the math?


    The maths that proves you know what I did better than I do?
    It's alright I'll leave your fantasies to you.


    There is conceit and there is sheer stupidity.

    If you want, I'll take your erroneous figures and
    demonstrate your ignorance for you in more rigorous terms.

    You can't, you have only confirmed your own. I told you
    what I did and you lied like the lying cunt you are.

    No. You got it wrong what you got wrong.


    Listen to yourself.

    You're too stupid for words.

    Do you want me to prove it to you mathematically?

    You can't.

    I know exactly what I did.

    Your conceit and dishonesty are amusing but in a tiresome,
    bored of watching the puppy eat it's own shit, kind of way.


    Or how about I simply point out that there was no "rim width"
    provided, so you couldn't possibly have based any of your
    calculations on a figure you didn't even have?

    The rim diameter you stupid twat.



    So you calculated "tire width less rim diameter" now?


    Nope.

    You really are making an ass of yourself.

    That is literally what you just said.

    You said (earlier):

    "because I calculated the tyre width less the rim width."

    And when I pointed out that rim width was included in any figures we
    were given you said:

    "The rim diameter"

    So if that was what imply you meant instead of "rim width", then your
    statement becomes:

    "because I calculated the tyre width less the rim diameter."


    No those are your words, fuckwit.

    Those were YOUR words with "rim width" replaced with "rim diameter" as
    YOU stated you had actually meant to do.



    To make such an inane suggestion after "correcting" my original
    numbers calls into question your claimed understanding of the whole
    subject.

    No, actually.

    It calls into question your ability to simply admit you didn't really
    understand in the first place.

    Didn't understand what, fuckwit?

    Didn't really understand what a tire's profile was a measure of.

    If you had, you'd have done the math correctly.

    width is among many specifications regarding tyre dimensions.

    Cite your source.


    The FIA technical regulations as well as several sites who quoted
    figures from Pirelli for the tyre dimensions.

    I note you don't actually provide a cite.



    So now you admit that you cribbed your numbers from an undisclosed
    source?

    Rim width isn't needed to calculate the tire's profile number.


    Not an answer.

    Why did you claim the figures "were not provided"?

    Because the rim width WASN'T provided, dimwit.


    It is (overall diameter in millimetres minus rim diameter) then
    divided by two, then divided by section width, then multiplied by 100
    to be expressed as an implicit percentage.


    Does your ignorance know no bounds?

    So where does RIM width figure in the calculation you claim you mean

    that made an even MORE nonsensical calculation ("tire width less overall diameter").

    Nope.

    You didn't "do the math wrong".

    If you did one thing correctly you

    No. I identified where your idea of what
    "profile" meant in the context of tires was
    wrong.


    Wrong.

    Stop proving how stupid you are. We already
    have a pretty good idea.

    I read that the profile is the ratio of width to sidewall and miscalculated because I calculated
    the tyre width less the rim width.

    No. You misunderstood what you read and calculated profile based on subtracting rim DIAMETER from
    overall diameter and failed to understand that
    since profile IS the ratio of sidewall height to
    overall tire section width that you would need to
    allow for the fact that there are two instances
    of the sidewall height in overall diameter.


    Lol, you claim to know what I did better than I do.

    I do because it's true.


    :-)

    You've lost your stupid little mind.

    Would you like to see the math?


    The maths that proves you know what I did better than I
    do? It's alright I'll leave your fantasies to you.


    There is conceit and there is sheer stupidity.

    If you want, I'll take your erroneous figures and demonstrate your ignorance for you in more
    rigorous terms.

    You can't, you have only confirmed your own. I told
    you what I did and you lied like the lying cunt you
    are.

    No. You got it wrong what you got wrong.


    Listen to yourself.

    You're too stupid for words.

    Do you want me to prove it to you mathematically?

    You can't.

    I know exactly what I did.

    Your conceit and dishonesty are amusing but in a
    tiresome, bored of watching the puppy eat it's own
    shit, kind of way.


    Or how about I simply point out that there was no "rim
    width" provided, so you couldn't possibly have based
    any of your calculations on a figure you didn't even
    have?

    The rim diameter you stupid twat.



    So you calculated "tire width less rim diameter" now?


    Nope.

    You really are making an ass of yourself.

    That is literally what you just said.

    You said (earlier):

    "because I calculated the tyre width less the rim width."

    And when I pointed out that rim width was included in any
    figures we were given you said:

    "The rim diameter"

    So if that was what imply you meant instead of "rim width",
    then your statement becomes:

    "because I calculated the tyre width less the rim diameter."


    No those are your words, fuckwit.

    Those were YOUR words with "rim width" replaced with "rim
    diameter" as YOU stated you had actually meant to do.


    I never stated that.

    You're being infantile.



    To make such an inane suggestion after "correcting" my
    original numbers calls into question your claimed
    understanding of the whole subject.

    No, actually.

    It calls into question your ability to simply admit you didn't
    really understand in the first place.

    Didn't understand what, fuckwit?

    Didn't really understand what a tire's profile was a measure of.

    If you had, you'd have done the math correctly.

    What an ignorant non-sequitur.

    I see where you went wrong. You are claiming to be too stupid to
    believe what I told you I did and what my calculations bear out.

    Instead you have made a convoluted explanation in order to support a
    litany of falsehoods, lies and misrepresentations.

    You really are looking like an habitually dishonest person... to the
    core.

    As I told you. I found what the profile ratio represents then
    calculated that number but used the diameter instead of the radius.

    Your only reason to claim otherwise is to support your dishonest representations.

    You thought you were being clever in trying to belittle me for a
    simple error but all you have done is prove what a dishonest little
    twat you are.


    Dude... ...give it a rest.

    You got it wrong.


    Again your habitual dishonesty has you attempting to imply I have
    claimed otherwise.

    You don't have an honest word to say on this subject.

    Just bluster, misrepresentation and lies.

    Again your habitual dishonesty has you attempting to imply I have
    claimed otherwise.

    I can't help noticing you've snipped all the factual analysis.

    Okay, let's look at your"analysis"

    "YOU on the other hand tried to blame it on using a figure for the
    calculation that you were never given ("rim width") and then when that
    was pointed out to you, claimed you meant a figure you were given, but
    that made an even MORE nonsensical calculation ("tire width less
    overall diameter")."

    "a figure you were never given" like "figures provided" you keep
    repeating this yet refuse to explain WTF you mean by it.

    I was "given" any figures. What figures were you "given" an by whom?

    When I explained where I went wrong (something that should have been
    obvious to you if you understood what was being calculated and had paid attention to earlier posts where I admitted my error) I wrote "rim
    width" and "tyre width" instead of diameter.

    When you queried "rim width" I said that obviously "rim diameter" was intended.

    You have since made a number of inane claims that make no sense
    whatsoever about what I calculated.

    The overriding truth here is that we both know exactly what I did and
    that you you have vainly tried to make it into something that
    demonstrates a greater lack of understand than is clearly demonstrated
    not only by my original calculations but by my discussion of what the
    tyres look like.

    Perhaps you chose to ignore that because you are still ducking the
    question about your claims that the tyres look like "high performance
    tyres"... when my point was that they don't even look like low profile
    road tyres at all.

    Now we both know you have nothing new to say and will simply be
    dishonest and try to obfuscate.

    That being the case why not just GO FUCK YOURSELF.

    Nope.

    You didn't "do the math wrong".

    No. I identified where your idea of what

    Wrong.

    Stop proving how stupid you are. We already
    have a pretty good idea.

    I read that the profile is the ratio of
    width to sidewall and miscalculated because
    I calculated the tyre width less the rim

    No. You misunderstood what you read and

    understand that since profile IS the ratio of
    sidewall height to overall tire section width
    that you would need to allow for the fact
    that there are two instances of the sidewall
    height in overall diameter.


    Lol, you claim to know what I did better than I

    I do because it's true.


    :-)

    You've lost your stupid little mind.

    Would you like to see the math?


    The maths that proves you know what I did better

    There is conceit and there is sheer stupidity.

    If you want, I'll take your erroneous figures

    You can't, you have only confirmed your own. I
    told you what I did and you lied like the lying
    cunt you are.

    No. You got it wrong what you got wrong.


    Listen to yourself.

    You're too stupid for words.

    Do you want me to prove it to you mathematically?

    You can't.

    I know exactly what I did.

    Your conceit and dishonesty are amusing but in a
    tiresome, bored of watching the puppy eat it's own
    shit, kind of way.


    Or how about I simply point out that there was no
    "rim width" provided, so you couldn't possibly
    have based any of your calculations on a figure
    you didn't even have?

    The rim diameter you stupid twat.



    So you calculated "tire width less rim diameter" now?


    Nope.

    You really are making an ass of yourself.

    That is literally what you just said.

    You said (earlier):

    "because I calculated the tyre width less the rim width."

    And when I pointed out that rim width was included in any
    figures we were given you said:

    "The rim diameter"

    So if that was what imply you meant instead of "rim
    width", then your statement becomes:

    "because I calculated the tyre width less the rim
    diameter."


    No those are your words, fuckwit.

    Those were YOUR words with "rim width" replaced with "rim
    diameter" as YOU stated you had actually meant to do.


    I never stated that.

    You're being infantile.



    To make such an inane suggestion after "correcting" my
    original numbers calls into question your claimed
    understanding of the whole subject.

    No, actually.

    It calls into question your ability to simply admit you
    didn't really understand in the first place.

    Didn't understand what, fuckwit?

    Didn't really understand what a tire's profile was a measure
    of.

    If you had, you'd have done the math correctly.

    What an ignorant non-sequitur.

    I see where you went wrong. You are claiming to be too stupid
    to believe what I told you I did and what my calculations bear
    out.

    Instead you have made a convoluted explanation in order to
    support a litany of falsehoods, lies and misrepresentations.

    You really are looking like an habitually dishonest person...
    to the core.

    As I told you. I found what the profile ratio represents then
    calculated that number but used the diameter instead of the
    radius.

    Your only reason to claim otherwise is to support your dishonest
    representations.

    You thought you were being clever in trying to belittle me for a
    simple error but all you have done is prove what a dishonest
    little twat you are.


    Dude... ...give it a rest.

    You got it wrong.


    Again your habitual dishonesty has you attempting to imply I have
    claimed otherwise.

    I can't help noticing you've snipped all the factual analysis.

    There is nothing there that has not been discussed and/or refuted,
    rebutted or shown to be misleading or false representation.

    A lie told many times is still a lie.

    The maths that proves you know what I did
    better than I do? It's alright I'll leave
    your fantasies to you.


    There is conceit and there is sheer
    stupidity.

    If you want, I'll take your erroneous
    figures and demonstrate your ignorance
    for you in more rigorous terms.

    You can't, you have only confirmed your
    own. I told you what I did and you lied
    like the lying cunt you are.

    No. You got it wrong what you got wrong.


    Listen to yourself.

    You're too stupid for words.

    Do you want me to prove it to you
    mathematically?

    You can't.

    I know exactly what I did.

    Your conceit and dishonesty are amusing but
    in a tiresome, bored of watching the puppy
    eat it's own shit, kind of way.


    Or how about I simply point out that there
    was no "rim width" provided, so you
    couldn't possibly have based any of your calculations on a figure you didn't even
    have?

    The rim diameter you stupid twat.



    So you calculated "tire width less rim
    diameter" now?


    Nope.

    You really are making an ass of yourself.

    That is literally what you just said.

    You said (earlier):

    "because I calculated the tyre width less the rim
    width."

    And when I pointed out that rim width was
    included in any figures we were given you said:

    "The rim diameter"

    So if that was what imply you meant instead of
    "rim width", then your statement becomes:

    "because I calculated the tyre width less the rim diameter."


    No those are your words, fuckwit.

    Those were YOUR words with "rim width" replaced with
    "rim diameter" as YOU stated you had actually meant
    to do.


    I never stated that.

    You're being infantile.



    To make such an inane suggestion after
    "correcting" my original numbers calls into
    question your claimed understanding of the
    whole subject.

    No, actually.

    It calls into question your ability to simply
    admit you didn't really understand in the first
    place.

    Didn't understand what, fuckwit?

    Didn't really understand what a tire's profile was a
    measure of.

    If you had, you'd have done the math correctly.

    What an ignorant non-sequitur.

    I see where you went wrong. You are claiming to be too
    stupid to believe what I told you I did and what my calculations bear out.

    Instead you have made a convoluted explanation in order
    to support a litany of falsehoods, lies and
    misrepresentations.

    You really are looking like an habitually dishonest
    person... to the core.

    As I told you. I found what the profile ratio represents
    then calculated that number but used the diameter
    instead of the radius.

    Your only reason to claim otherwise is to support your dishonest representations.

    You thought you were being clever in trying to belittle
    me for a simple error but all you have done is prove
    what a dishonest little twat you are.


    Dude... ...give it a rest.

    You got it wrong.


    Again your habitual dishonesty has you attempting to imply I
    have claimed otherwise.

    I can't help noticing you've snipped all the factual analysis.

    There is nothing there that has not been discussed and/or
    refuted, rebutted or shown to be misleading or false
    representation.

    A lie told many times is still a lie.


    What lie did I tell in the text you snipped?

    Stop farting about. You are a mealy mouthed little cunt who's been fabricating and misrepresenting the facts since your first interject
    ion.


    You snipped my text and then claim it was lies...

    Liar.


    You're a pussy.

    You're a dishonest cunt... and you know it.

    No. I identified where your idea

    Wrong.

    Stop proving how stupid you are. We
    already have a pretty good idea.

    I read that the profile is the
    ratio of width to sidewall and
    miscalculated because I calculated
    the tyre width less the rim width.

    No. You misunderstood what you read
    and calculated profile based on
    subtracting rim DIAMETER from overall
    diameter and failed to understand
    that since profile IS the ratio of
    sidewall height to overall tire
    section width that you would need to
    allow for the fact that there are two
    instances of the sidewall height in
    overall diameter.

    You got it wrong.


    Again your habitual dishonesty has you attempting to imply I have
    claimed otherwise.

    I can't help noticing you've snipped all the factual analysis.

    Okay, let's look at your"analysis"

    "YOU on the other hand tried to blame it on using a figure for the calculation that you were never given ("rim width") and then when that
    was pointed out to you, claimed you meant a figure you were given, but
    that made an even MORE nonsensical calculation ("tire width less
    overall diameter")."

    "a figure you were never given" like "figures provided" you keep
    repeating this yet refuse to explain WTF you mean by it.

    I was "given" any figures. What figures were you "given" an by whom?

    The figures were the sizes of front and rear tire expressed in overall
    width (in millimetres), the overall diameter (in millimetres), and the
    rim diameter (in inches).

    These were given as 305/720R18 (front), and 405/720R18 (rear).

    What wasn't included in the figures that have been published is the rim width...

    ...so when you said you got it wrong because you calculated "tire width
    less rim width" that couldn't have been right. It also isn't any part of calculating the numbers you ended up giving for tire size expressed in
    the manner used for road cars:

    "305/86 R18" for fronts

    "405/65 R18" for rears.

    I know this, because I now precisely how you arrived at those numbers:

    You took the overall DIAMETER of the tire.

    Subtracted the rim diameter.

    Divided that result by the tire section width.

    Then multiplied by 100 and rounded off.

    e.g for the fronts:

    round((720-18*25.4)/305*100) = 86

    for the rears:

    round((720-18*25.4)/405*100) = 65

    At no time did "tire width less rim width" enter into the calculation.


    When I explained where I went wrong (something that should have been
    obvious to you if you understood what was being calculated and had paid attention to earlier posts where I admitted my error) I wrote "rim
    width" and "tyre width" instead of diameter.

    When you queried "rim width" I said that obviously "rim diameter" was intended.

    That would have made your claim that you used "tire width less rim
    width" into "tire width less rim diameter"...

    ...which is every bit as nonsensical.


    You have since made a number of inane claims that make no sense
    whatsoever about what I calculated.

    Such as?


    The overriding truth here is that we both know exactly what I did and
    that you you have vainly tried to make it into something that
    demonstrates a greater lack of understand than is clearly demonstrated
    not only by my original calculations but by my discussion of what the
    tyres look like.

    No. I knew exactly what you did, and when attempted to explain what you
    did, you made basic errors that no one who actually understood this
    stuff would ever make.


    Perhaps you chose to ignore that because you are still ducking the
    question about your claims that the tyres look like "high performance tyres"... when my point was that they don't even look like low profile
    road tyres at all.

    Really?

    Do you know what the rear tires of my BMW 135i are?

    245/35R18

    That really isn't that far off the real F1 numbers of 405/32R18, now is it?


    Now we both know you have nothing new to say and will simply be
    dishonest and try to obfuscate.

    And yet it is you who always actually obfuscates the discussion by
    snipping what has gone before before declaring it all lies.


    That being the case why not just GO FUCK YOURSELF.

    Yeah, never mind
    pertinent facts when
    lies come so easily
    to you.
    What "pertinent
    facts", hmmm?

    What "lies"?

    I knew what tire
    profile was...

    ...you were clueless.

    Demonstrating your
    ignorance yet again.

    I clearly knew what a
    profile was I simply
    have never had reason to calculate it an
    overlooked something;
    algebra not ignorance.


    Nope.

    You didn't "do the math
    wrong".

    If you did one thing
    correctly you identified
    where my mathematics was at
    fault.

    No. I identified where your
    idea of what "profile" meant
    in the context of tires was
    wrong.


    Wrong.

    Stop proving how stupid you
    are. We already have a pretty
    good idea.

    I read that the profile is the
    ratio of width to sidewall and miscalculated because I
    calculated the tyre width less
    the rim width.

    No. You misunderstood what you
    read and calculated profile based
    on subtracting rim DIAMETER from
    overall diameter and failed to
    understand that since profile IS
    the ratio of sidewall height to
    overall tire section width that
    you would need to allow for the
    fact that there are two instances
    of the sidewall height in overall diameter.


    Lol, you claim to know what I did
    better than I do.

    I do because it's true.


    :-)

    You've lost your stupid little mind.

    Would you like to see the math?


    The maths that proves you know what I
    did better than I do? It's alright
    I'll leave your fantasies to you.


    There is conceit and there is sheer stupidity.

    If you want, I'll take your
    erroneous figures and demonstrate
    your ignorance for you in more
    rigorous terms.

    You can't, you have only confirmed
    your own. I told you what I did and
    you lied like the lying cunt you
    are.

    No. You got it wrong what you got
    wrong.


    Listen to yourself.

    You're too stupid for words.

    Do you want me to prove it to you mathematically?

    You can't.

    I know exactly what I did.

    Your conceit and dishonesty are amusing
    but in a tiresome, bored of watching
    the puppy eat it's own shit, kind of
    way.


    Or how about I simply point out that
    there was no "rim width" provided, so
    you couldn't possibly have based any
    of your calculations on a figure you
    didn't even have?

    The rim diameter you stupid twat.



    So you calculated "tire width less rim
    diameter" now?


    Nope.

    You really are making an ass of yourself.

    That is literally what you just said.

    You said (earlier):

    "because I calculated the tyre width less the
    rim width."

    And when I pointed out that rim width was
    included in any figures we were given you
    said:

    "The rim diameter"

    So if that was what imply you meant instead of
    "rim width", then your statement becomes:

    "because I calculated the tyre width less the
    rim diameter."


    No those are your words, fuckwit.

    Those were YOUR words with "rim width" replaced
    with "rim diameter" as YOU stated you had
    actually meant to do.


    I never stated that.

    You're being infantile.



    To make such an inane suggestion after
    "correcting" my original numbers calls into question your claimed understanding of the
    whole subject.

    No, actually.

    It calls into question your ability to simply
    admit you didn't really understand in the
    first place.

    Didn't understand what, fuckwit?

    Didn't really understand what a tire's profile
    was a measure of.

    If you had, you'd have done the math correctly.

    What an ignorant non-sequitur.

    I see where you went wrong. You are claiming to be
    too stupid to believe what I told you I did and
    what my calculations bear out.

    Instead you have made a convoluted explanation in
    order to support a litany of falsehoods, lies and misrepresentations.

    You really are looking like an habitually dishonest person... to the core.

    As I told you. I found what the profile ratio
    represents then calculated that number but used the diameter instead of the radius.

    Your only reason to claim otherwise is to support
    your dishonest representations.

    You thought you were being clever in trying to
    belittle me for a simple error but all you have
    done is prove what a dishonest little twat you are.


    Dude... ...give it a rest.

    You got it wrong.


    Again your habitual dishonesty has you attempting to
    imply I have claimed otherwise.

    I can't help noticing you've snipped all the factual
    analysis.

    There is nothing there that has not been discussed and/or
    refuted, rebutted or shown to be misleading or false representation.

    A lie told many times is still a lie.


    What lie did I tell in the text you snipped?

    Stop farting about. You are a mealy mouthed little cunt who's
    been fabricating and misrepresenting the facts since your first interject ion.


    You snipped my text and then claim it was lies...

    Liar.


    You're a pussy.

    You're a dishonest cunt... and you know it.

    Dude: if you have any balls at all, put back the text you snipped and
    explain how ANY OF IT is a lie.

    Another dishonest misrepresentation.

    There was nothing new in what I snipped. The same misrepresentation and
    lies you have been flogging your dead horse with for days... yet I did
    respond to it days ago... as you well know.

    A Eunuch like you suggesting anyone needs to grow a pair to deal with
    your infantile fabrications is hilarious.

    "YOU on the other hand tried to blame it on using a figure for the calculation that you were never given ("rim width") and then when
    that was pointed out to you, claimed you meant a figure you were

    "a figure you were never given" like "figures provided" you keep

    I was "given" any figures. What figures were you "given" an by whom?


    The first few lines are not an explanation of WTF you mean by the
    above...

    I must now assume you had no idea how to calculate these profiles and
    copied your versions from somewhere else and are referring to the
    figures provided in someone else's work. This is the only way your
    repetition of "provided"/"given" figures makes any sense. I was not

    figures which you were obviously not "provided" with.

    You following, as far as I read, are again nonsensical lies and misrepresentations that have been dealt with above.

    Your dishonesty is a mental disease.

    You duck and lie repeatedly... and your bad at it.

    You have fucked yourself.

    You think a sidewall of 8.5cm on a low profile road tyre looks similar

    Like I said before, and you ducked, the proportions have more in common

    Sorry, but you precede from a false premise.

    Just because the absolute number is similar to what you might find on a
    van has almost nothing to do with whether they resemble a high
    performance car's tires. That comes down to the PROPORTIONS.

    Allow me to whip you up a quick example.

    The F1 rear tire is 405/32R18, and a van tire might be (checking online
    for a Ford Transit T350) 235/65R16 (so 712mm in overall diameter to the
    F1 tire's 720), and my BMW's rear tire is just under 630mm in diameter so:

    From left to right, that's a 2021 F1 rear tire, a 2022 F1 rear tire,
    the rear tire from my BMW, and the tire from a Ford Transit Van.

    Can you really not see that the 2022 F1 tire is an evolution between the
    2021 tire and the proportions of the BMW tire?

    What "lies"?

    I knew what tire

    ...you were clueless.

    Demonstrating your

    I clearly knew what a
    profile was I simply
    have never had reason to
    calculate it an
    overlooked something;
    algebra not ignorance.


    Nope.

    You didn't "do the math
    wrong".

    If you did one thing
    correctly you identified
    where my mathematics was at
    fault.

    No. I identified where your
    idea of what "profile" meant
    in the context of tires was
    wrong.


    Wrong.

    Stop proving how stupid you
    are. We already have a pretty
    good idea.

    I read that the profile is the
    ratio of width to sidewall and
    miscalculated because I
    calculated the tyre width less
    the rim width.

    No. You misunderstood what you
    read and calculated profile based
    on subtracting rim DIAMETER from
    overall diameter and failed to
    understand that since profile IS
    the ratio of sidewall height to
    overall tire section width that
    you would need to allow for the
    fact that there are two instances
    of the sidewall height in overall
    diameter.


    Lol, you claim to know what I did
    better than I do.

    I do because it's true.


    :-)

    You've lost your stupid little mind.

    Would you like to see the math?


    The maths that proves you know what I
    did better than I do? It's alright
    I'll leave your fantasies to you.


    There is conceit and there is sheer
    stupidity.

    If you want, I'll take your
    erroneous figures and demonstrate
    your ignorance for you in more
    rigorous terms.

    You can't, you have only confirmed
    your own. I told you what I did and
    you lied like the lying cunt you
    are.

    No. You got it wrong what you got
    wrong.


    Listen to yourself.

    You're too stupid for words.

    Do you want me to prove it to you
    mathematically?

    You can't.

    I know exactly what I did.

    Your conceit and dishonesty are amusing
    but in a tiresome, bored of watching
    the puppy eat it's own shit, kind of
    way.


    Or how about I simply point out that
    there was no "rim width" provided, so
    you couldn't possibly have based any
    of your calculations on a figure you
    didn't even have?

    The rim diameter you stupid twat.



    So you calculated "tire width less rim
    diameter" now?


    Nope.

    You really are making an ass of yourself.

    That is literally what you just said.

    You said (earlier):

    "because I calculated the tyre width less the
    rim width."

    And when I pointed out that rim width was
    included in any figures we were given you
    said:

    "The rim diameter"

    So if that was what imply you meant instead of
    "rim width", then your statement becomes:

    "because I calculated the tyre width less the
    rim diameter."


    No those are your words, fuckwit.

    Those were YOUR words with "rim width" replaced
    with "rim diameter" as YOU stated you had
    actually meant to do.


    I never stated that.

    You're being infantile.



    To make such an inane suggestion after
    "correcting" my original numbers calls into
    question your claimed understanding of the
    whole subject.

    No, actually.

    It calls into question your ability to simply
    admit you didn't really understand in the
    first place.

    Didn't understand what, fuckwit?

    Didn't really understand what a tire's profile
    was a measure of.

    If you had, you'd have done the math correctly.

    What an ignorant non-sequitur.

    I see where you went wrong. You are claiming to be
    too stupid to believe what I told you I did and
    what my calculations bear out.

    Instead you have made a convoluted explanation in
    order to support a litany of falsehoods, lies and
    misrepresentations.

    You really are looking like an habitually dishonest
    person... to the core.

    As I told you. I found what the profile ratio
    represents then calculated that number but used the
    diameter instead of the radius.

    Your only reason to claim otherwise is to support
    your dishonest representations.

    You thought you were being clever in trying to
    belittle me for a simple error but all you have
    done is prove what a dishonest little twat you are.


    Dude... ...give it a rest.

    You got it wrong.


    Again your habitual dishonesty has you attempting to
    imply I have claimed otherwise.

    I can't help noticing you've snipped all the factual
    analysis.

    There is nothing there that has not been discussed and/or
    refuted, rebutted or shown to be misleading or false
    representation.

    A lie told many times is still a lie.


    What lie did I tell in the text you snipped?

    Stop farting about. You are a mealy mouthed little cunt who's
    been fabricating and misrepresenting the facts since your first
    interject ion.


    You snipped my text and then claim it was lies...

    Liar.


    You're a pussy.

    You're a dishonest cunt... and you know it.

    Dude: if you have any balls at all, put back the text you snipped and
    explain how ANY OF IT is a lie.

    Another dishonest misrepresentation.

    Is it dishonest to say you snipped my text?


    There was nothing new in what I snipped. The same misrepresentation and
    lies you have been flogging your dead horse with for days... yet I did respond to it days ago... as you well know.

    You've never once actually explained how anything I've said is actually
    a lie rather than you failing to understand what I've said.


    A Eunuch like you suggesting anyone needs to grow a pair to deal with
    your infantile fabrications is hilarious.

    Perhaps you chose to ignore that because you are still ducking
    the question about your claims that the tyres look like "high performance tyres"... when my point was that they don't even
    look like low profile road tyres at all.

    Really?

    Do you know what the rear tires of my BMW 135i are?

    245/35R18

    That really isn't that far off the real F1 numbers of 405/32R18,
    now is it?

    Those are numbers.

    Yes. Very good.

    Those... ...ARE numbers.


    Feigning ignorance or truly ignorant?



    Are you STILL claiming your tyres look like F1 tyres?

    You think a sidewall of 8.5cm on a low profile road tyre looks
    similar to the 13cm sidewall on an F1 tyre?

    Yup. Because what makes thing LOOK similar is PROPORTION.


    A delightful non-sequitur. You are claiming two things which are
    clearly disproportional look
    proportional.

    Be honest, Baker, you haven't a clue what you are talking about have
    you.


    Like I said before, and you ducked, the proportions have more in
    common with the tyres on a van than a "high performance". You are
    just too ignorant to appreciate it and/or admit it, aren't you?

    YES or NO?

    Sorry, but you precede from a false premise.

    Just because the absolute number is similar to what you might find on
    a van has almost nothing to do with whether they resemble a high
    performance car's tires. That comes down to the PROPORTIONS.

    Allow me to whip you up a quick example.


    No need. I gave examples early on. Ones that prove what a donkey you
    are.

    Go and check those; since you clearly were not up to comprehending the
    point a week ago... maybe it is slowly dawning on you.

    Also try to get your head around your stupid assertions and recheck
    what I wrote above.

    You look truly stupid trying to say that 13cm sidewall on an 18" rim
    looks exactly like an 8.5cm sidewall on an 18" rim...

    ...but such an assertion just about sums up the intransigent ignorance demonstrated by you in this thread.

    No. I identified where

    Wrong.

    I read that the profile is

    Or how about I simply point out

    It's just that I don't really know of any other racing drivers who
    choose a beemer as their personal road car. Mercs, Astons, VW's, Fiats
    even a few Japanese cars plus the expected supercars of course. But
    Beemers? Can't think of any, and it does seem an odd choice for a racing driver.

    It's just that I don't really know of any other racing drivers who
    choose a beemer as their personal road car. Mercs, Astons, VW's, Fiats
    even a few Japanese cars plus the expected supercars of course. But
    Beemers? Can't think of any, and it does seem an odd choice for a racing driver.

    Why?

    It's my daily driving road car, and I'm not a PAID racing driver.

    It is a superb performance coupe for the road. Practical enough for transporting up to 4 normal size human beings with trunk big enough to
    swallow my golf clubs or my hockey bag.

    As the review points out, it's not a great track car, but that's
    perfectly alright. I already have one of the best track cars there is:

    A 1998 Van Diemen RF98-2 Honda.

    In your case that would be 1 subhuman and zero passengers ever.
    As you have no fucking friends.

    Swallow? You are fucked in the head.

    Well bmw's are a little disconnected for skilled drivers. The emphasis
    on ride handling, ride quality and ease of driving is delivered at the
    expense of driver input.

    All modern cars are nannied. By law. But bmw have made been doing it for
    years and although the results for the average driver are phenomenal,
    they do retract from the skilled driver at the high end.

    It is, yes, but I would postulate it is only a superb performance coupe
    for those who have not yet acquired the skill set to drive or who do not intend to. Boy racers and the executive types. As I said earlier,
    skilled drivers seem to avoid beemers. Even the true M-class ones.

    I'm not roasting you on your choice. I just imagine that it would be a
    little frustrating to drive for anyone who likes to drive and who has
    the required skill set to get close to the edge with it.

    This was the reason I asked if it was a family car. I may not have been
    clear but by that I was asking if it was also driven by others.

    Perhaps you chose to ignore that because you are still ducking
    the question about your claims that the tyres look like "high
    performance tyres"... when my point was that they don't even
    look like low profile road tyres at all.

    Really?

    Do you know what the rear tires of my BMW 135i are?

    245/35R18

    That really isn't that far off the real F1 numbers of 405/32R18,
    now is it?

    Those are numbers.

    Yes. Very good.

    Those... ...ARE numbers.


    Feigning ignorance or truly ignorant?



    Are you STILL claiming your tyres look like F1 tyres?

    You think a sidewall of 8.5cm on a low profile road tyre looks
    similar to the 13cm sidewall on an F1 tyre?

    Yup. Because what makes thing LOOK similar is PROPORTION.


    A delightful non-sequitur. You are claiming two things which are
    clearly disproportional look
    proportional.

    Be honest, Baker, you haven't a clue what you are talking about have
    you.


    Like I said before, and you ducked, the proportions have more in
    common with the tyres on a van than a "high performance". You are
    just too ignorant to appreciate it and/or admit it, aren't you?

    YES or NO?

    Sorry, but you precede from a false premise.

    Just because the absolute number is similar to what you might find on
    a van has almost nothing to do with whether they resemble a high
    performance car's tires. That comes down to the PROPORTIONS.

    Allow me to whip you up a quick example.


    No need. I gave examples early on. Ones that prove what a donkey you
    are.

    Go and check those; since you clearly were not up to comprehending the
    point a week ago... maybe it is slowly dawning on you.

    Also try to get your head around your stupid assertions and recheck
    what I wrote above.

    You look truly stupid trying to say that 13cm sidewall on an 18" rim
    looks exactly like an 8.5cm sidewall on an 18" rim...

    ...but such an assertion just about sums up the intransigent ignorance demonstrated by you in this thread.

    I never said they look exactly the same...

    ...but you ignore width when you claim that because the sidewall height
    is similar a van wheel and tire looks exactly like an F1 wheel and tire.

    I clearly knew what
    a profile was I
    simply have never

    overlooked
    something; algebra
    not ignorance.


    Nope.

    You didn't "do the
    math wrong".

    If you did one thing
    correctly you identified
    where my mathematics
    was at fault.

    No. I identified where
    your idea of what
    "profile" meant in the
    context of tires was
    wrong.


    Wrong.

    Stop proving how stupid you
    are. We already have a
    pretty good idea.

    I read that the profile is
    the ratio of width to
    sidewall and miscalculated
    because I calculated the
    tyre width less the rim
    width.

    No. You misunderstood what you
    read and calculated profile
    based on subtracting rim
    DIAMETER from overall
    diameter and failed to
    understand that since profile
    IS the ratio of sidewall
    height to overall tire
    section width that you would
    need to allow for the fact
    that there are two instances
    of the sidewall height in
    overall diameter.


    Lol, you claim to know what I
    did better than I do.

    I do because it's true.


    :-)

    You've lost your stupid little mind.

    Would you like to see the math?


    The maths that proves you know what
    I did better than I do? It's
    alright I'll leave your fantasies
    to you.


    There is conceit and there is
    sheer stupidity.

    If you want, I'll take your
    erroneous figures and
    demonstrate your ignorance
    for you in more rigorous
    terms.

    You can't, you have only
    confirmed your own. I told you
    what I did and you lied like
    the lying cunt you are.

    No. You got it wrong what you got
    wrong.


    Listen to yourself.

    You're too stupid for words.

    Do you want me to prove it to you
    mathematically?

    You can't.

    I know exactly what I did.

    Your conceit and dishonesty are
    amusing but in a tiresome, bored of
    watching the puppy eat it's own
    shit, kind of way.


    Or how about I simply point out
    that there was no "rim width"
    provided, so you couldn't
    possibly have based any of your
    calculations on a figure you
    didn't even have?

    The rim diameter you stupid twat.



    So you calculated "tire width less rim
    diameter" now?


    Nope.

    You really are making an ass of
    yourself.

    That is literally what you just said.

    You said (earlier):

    "because I calculated the tyre width less
    the rim width."

    And when I pointed out that rim width was
    included in any figures we were given you
    said:

    "The rim diameter"

    So if that was what imply you meant
    instead of "rim width", then your
    statement becomes:

    "because I calculated the tyre width less
    the rim diameter."


    No those are your words, fuckwit.

    Those were YOUR words with "rim width"
    replaced with "rim diameter" as YOU stated
    you had actually meant to do.


    I never stated that.

    You're being infantile.



    To make such an inane suggestion after
    "correcting" my original numbers calls
    into question your claimed
    understanding of the whole subject.

    No, actually.

    It calls into question your ability to
    simply admit you didn't really understand
    in the first place.

    Didn't understand what, fuckwit?

    Didn't really understand what a tire's profile
    was a measure of.

    If you had, you'd have done the math
    correctly.

    What an ignorant non-sequitur.

    I see where you went wrong. You are claiming
    to be too stupid to believe what I told you I
    did and what my calculations bear out.

    Instead you have made a convoluted explanation
    in order to support a litany of falsehoods,
    lies and misrepresentations.

    You really are looking like an habitually
    dishonest person... to the core.

    As I told you. I found what the profile ratio
    represents then calculated that number but used
    the diameter instead of the radius.

    Your only reason to claim otherwise is to
    support your dishonest representations.

    You thought you were being clever in trying to
    belittle me for a simple error but all you have
    done is prove what a dishonest little twat you
    are.


    Dude... ...give it a rest.

    You got it wrong.


    Again your habitual dishonesty has you attempting to
    imply I have claimed otherwise.

    I can't help noticing you've snipped all the factual
    analysis.

    There is nothing there that has not been discussed
    and/or refuted, rebutted or shown to be misleading or
    false representation.

    A lie told many times is still a lie.


    What lie did I tell in the text you snipped?

    Stop farting about. You are a mealy mouthed little cunt
    who's been fabricating and misrepresenting the facts since
    your first interject ion.


    You snipped my text and then claim it was lies...

    Liar.


    You're a pussy.

    You're a dishonest cunt... and you know it.

    Dude: if you have any balls at all, put back the text you snipped
    and explain how ANY OF IT is a lie.

    Another dishonest misrepresentation.

    Is it dishonest to say you snipped my text?


    It's dishonest to suggest I haven't already indicated your falsehoods
    and dealt with them.

    It isn't dishonest, because you haven't and you haven't.

    You've snipped text and then declared what you snipped to be falsehoods without any further explanation.



    There was nothing new in what I snipped. The same misrepresentation
    and lies you have been flogging your dead horse with for days...
    yet I did respond to it days ago... as you well know.

    You've never once actually explained how anything I've said is
    actually a lie rather than you failing to understand what I've said.


    Liar.

    All you'd need to do is provide an example...

    ...but we both know that's not going to be forthcoming, don't we?

    is the ratio of width to sidewall and
    miscalculated because I calculated the tyre
    width less the rim
    width.

    No. You misunderstood
    what you read and
    calculated profile based
    on subtracting rim
    DIAMETER from overall
    diameter and failed to
    understand that since
    profile IS the ratio of
    sidewall height to
    overall tire section
    width that you would need
    to allow for the fact
    that there are two
    instances of the sidewall
    height in overall
    diameter.


    Lol, you claim to know what
    I did better than I do.

    I do because it's true.


    :-)

    You've lost your stupid little
    mind.

    Would you like to see the
    math?


    The maths that proves you know
    what I did better than I do?
    It's alright I'll leave your
    fantasies to you.


    There is conceit and there
    is sheer stupidity.

    If you want, I'll take
    your erroneous figures and demonstrate your ignorance
    for you in more rigorous
    terms.

    You can't, you have only
    confirmed your own. I told
    you what I did and you lied
    like the lying cunt you are.

    No. You got it wrong what you
    got wrong.


    Listen to yourself.

    You're too stupid for words.

    Do you want me to prove it to
    you mathematically?

    You can't.

    I know exactly what I did.

    Your conceit and dishonesty are
    amusing but in a tiresome,
    bored of watching the puppy eat
    it's own shit, kind of way.


    Or how about I simply point
    out that there was no "rim
    width" provided, so you
    couldn't possibly have based
    any of your calculations on a
    figure you didn't even have?

    The rim diameter you stupid
    twat.



    So you calculated "tire width
    less rim diameter" now?


    Nope.

    You really are making an ass of
    yourself.

    That is literally what you just said.

    You said (earlier):

    "because I calculated the tyre width
    less the rim width."

    And when I pointed out that rim width
    was included in any figures we were
    given you said:

    "The rim diameter"

    So if that was what imply you meant
    instead of "rim width", then your
    statement becomes:

    "because I calculated the tyre width
    less the rim diameter."


    No those are your words, fuckwit.

    Those were YOUR words with "rim width"
    replaced with "rim diameter" as YOU stated
    you had actually meant to do.


    I never stated that.

    You're being infantile.



    To make such an inane suggestion
    after "correcting" my original
    numbers calls into question your
    claimed understanding of the whole
    subject.

    No, actually.

    It calls into question your ability to
    simply admit you didn't really
    understand in the first place.

    Didn't understand what, fuckwit?

    Didn't really understand what a tire's
    profile was a measure of.

    If you had, you'd have done the math
    correctly.

    What an ignorant non-sequitur.

    I see where you went wrong. You are claiming
    to be too stupid to believe what I told you
    I did and what my calculations bear out.

    Instead you have made a convoluted
    explanation in order to support a litany of falsehoods, lies and misrepresentations.

    You really are looking like an habitually
    dishonest person... to the core.

    As I told you. I found what the profile
    ratio represents then calculated that
    number but used the diameter instead of the
    radius.

    Your only reason to claim otherwise is to
    support your dishonest representations.

    You thought you were being clever in trying
    to belittle me for a simple error but all
    you have done is prove what a dishonest
    little twat you are.


    Dude... ...give it a rest.

    You got it wrong.


    Again your habitual dishonesty has you
    attempting to imply I have claimed otherwise.

    I can't help noticing you've snipped all the
    factual analysis.

    There is nothing there that has not been discussed
    and/or refuted, rebutted or shown to be misleading
    or false representation.

    A lie told many times is still a lie.


    What lie did I tell in the text you snipped?

    Stop farting about. You are a mealy mouthed little cunt
    who's been fabricating and misrepresenting the facts
    since your first interject ion.


    You snipped my text and then claim it was lies...

    Liar.


    You're a pussy.

    You're a dishonest cunt... and you know it.

    Dude: if you have any balls at all, put back the text you
    snipped and explain how ANY OF IT is a lie.

    Another dishonest misrepresentation.

    Is it dishonest to say you snipped my text?


    It's dishonest to suggest I haven't already indicated your
    falsehoods and dealt with them.

    It isn't dishonest, because you haven't and you haven't.


    LIAR.

    What a really stupid lie.

    Perhaps you chose to ignore that because you are still
    ducking the question about your claims that the tyres look
    like "high performance tyres"... when my point was that
    they don't even look like low profile road tyres at all.

    Really?

    Do you know what the rear tires of my BMW 135i are?

    245/35R18

    That really isn't that far off the real F1 numbers of
    405/32R18, now is it?

    Those are numbers.

    Yes. Very good.

    Those... ...ARE numbers.


    Feigning ignorance or truly ignorant?



    Are you STILL claiming your tyres look like F1 tyres?

    You think a sidewall of 8.5cm on a low profile road tyre looks
    similar to the 13cm sidewall on an F1 tyre?

    Yup. Because what makes thing LOOK similar is PROPORTION.


    A delightful non-sequitur. You are claiming two things which are
    clearly disproportional look
    proportional.

    Be honest, Baker, you haven't a clue what you are talking about have
    you.


    Like I said before, and you ducked, the proportions have more in
    common with the tyres on a van than a "high performance". You
    are just too ignorant to appreciate it and/or admit it, aren't
    you?

    YES or NO?

    Sorry, but you precede from a false premise.

    Just because the absolute number is similar to what you might
    find on a van has almost nothing to do with whether they resemble
    a high performance car's tires. That comes down to the
    PROPORTIONS.

    Allow me to whip you up a quick example.


    No need. I gave examples early on. Ones that prove what a donkey you
    are.

    Go and check those; since you clearly were not up to comprehending
    the point a week ago... maybe it is slowly dawning on you.

    Also try to get your head around your stupid assertions and recheck
    what I wrote above.

    You look truly stupid trying to say that 13cm sidewall on an 18" rim
    looks exactly like an 8.5cm sidewall on an 18" rim...

    ...but such an assertion just about sums up the intransigent
    ignorance demonstrated by you in this thread.

    I never said they look exactly the same...

    ...but you ignore width when you claim that because the sidewall
    height is similar a van wheel and tire looks exactly like an F1 wheel
    and tire.

    WOW! Just fucking WOW!

    Are you really being that slow? This whole tread was about the
    perception of a "low-profile" tyre.

    I am not even going to deal with your additional falsehoods and misrepresentations above but just repost what I said before your
    tedious litany of falsehoods

    "It's not until I thought about what is being calculated that I realised
    that the width of the tyre on an F1 car means that for a similar
    profile the sidewall is proportionally larger.

    That is why these do not look like low profile road tyres but more like
    the tyres on van the I use for the dogs. 215/55 R16

    If you scale down 720 R18 to the vans tyre diameter you get a 16" rim
    so pretty much dead on analogy.

    To have a 720mm wheel that looked like a low profile road car tyre (say
    a 225/45R18) you'd have to have a 19.6"rim or to look like a 225/40 R19
    the rims would have to be another inch bigger than that.

    So while they look more like road tyres from the side they do not
    resemble "fashionable" low profile road tyres at all."

    Well possibly. More likely I've read it many times from many where's, or
    to more accurate, never read it at all.

    It's simple to look up on t'interweb, what the personal cars of many
    drivers are. We know Leclerc is a big Alpha fan. Kimi has a Fiat. Lewis
    will most likely be seen in a Smart Brabus. You can find personal cars
    for most of the top drivers of most disciplines.

    Beemers are conspicuous by their absence. I would say total absence but
    I am only working from a small sample of drivers, and none of them
    appear to have a bmw.

    So lets forget about your personal choice. Personal cars are usually,
    above all, a tool rather than a toy and focusing on driving
    characteristics generally requires compromise elsewhere. So lets just concentrate on why it is that the beemer is not a favoured car amongst
    people with very high driving skill sets.

    I would like to know. However, having driven BMW's and the much looser
    mercs, I have formed personal ideas as to why that might be and I have
    alluded to such. The popular mercedes and Italian brands are far less restrictive to driver style. oc, icbw and I happily admit that.

    To be fair, the BMW M2 is not really equivalent to a BMW 135i M-Sport.

    The M2 is the replacement of what BMW was forced to call the "1M"

    Chris Harris quite likes the ones he's had, and I'd say he's a very
    high skill driver:
    https://www.bmwblog.com/2022/02/28/chris-harris-bmw-m2-cs-2/
    Of course, like many others, he likes a wide range of cars (2CV!),
    there's no uniquely pro-BMW preference.


    Quite the opposite. I thought he 'disliked' bmw's. I see he has done a
    youtube video on his m2. I'll try and find time to watch it this
    evening.

    To be fair, the BMW M2 is not really equivalent to a BMW 135i M-Sport.


    Meh. I wasn't referring to the 135 or your choice of car specifically.
    It was a bmw-wide perception I had.

    The M2 is the replacement of what BMW was forced to call the "1M"
    previously (because the name "M1" holds a special place in the history
    of BMW).


    Such perception even covered M cars. I'll try and watch Chris's video
    tonight sometime.

    Based on very little. I know.

    One that I was questioning. People do that when they don't know
    everything about everything that there is to know. Sometimes, they even
    get an answer, and sometimes they find themselves talking to someone
    with their head buried deep in their own arse.

    The problem with having your head that far up your own arse, is that all
    you truly know about with any conviction, tends to be the specific
    aromatic fingerprint of your own shit.

    Once again, I'm done with this.

    You weren't questioning it.

    You claimed...

    Most likely based on one thing you heard from one driver.

    ...that all serious racing drivers don't like BMWs.

    you truly know about with any conviction, tends to be the specific

    As some of you know the Porsche's went from a proper race tyre to a low-profile some years ago. At Philip Island we lost 3 seconds a lap.
    I know with the aero changes the cars were supposed to be faster but the loss from the tyres will be difficult to gain back.

    Testing will be very interesting.

    Now we've seen them on track.

    No, actually.

    Because the cars and their aerodynamics are massively different.

    Racing series with free choice in tires use lower profile tires than F1.
