Racing Tire Calculator
Calculate racing tire performance, wear rates, and costs. Understand how compound, track conditions, and driving style affect your tire expenses and performance.
Step 1: Tire Details
Understanding Tire Compounds
Softer compounds provide more grip but wear faster. Harder compounds last longer but offer less peak grip. Choose based on track conditions and race strategy.
Step 2: Race Details
Track Temperature Impact
Higher temperatures increase tire wear but can improve grip up to a point. Colder temperatures preserve tires but reduce grip. Optimal operating windows vary by compound.

Tire Wear Analysis
Tire Cost Formula
Cost Per Lap = Tire Set Cost ÷ Estimated Tire Life
The tire cost per lap is calculated by dividing the total cost of a tire set by the estimated number of laps they will last. Actual wear depends on driving style, track conditions, and temperature.
