What happens when you put Formula 1 tyres on a road car? Do you get F1 levels of grip or is it impossible to keep them hot?
In this video, I put F1 tyres on my road car and we find out.
👉 WE MADE AIRLESS TYRES
Last month, we made also made airless tyres from hardware store parts! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuQ5N5CAFB8
Our main problem was getting the F1 wheels to actually fit the car. Formula one wheels use a centre-lock to make them easy to remove, whereas normal road cars, usually have 4 or 5 nuts or bolts holding the wheel on.
So, what we’ve made is a set of adapters that bolt onto the original hub. We spent a ton of time measuring, drawing and machining them - from a solid block - to get them right, so we couldn’t wait to finally see them on the car for the first time.
🟢 Thanks so much to Caterham for lending us the car, it was perfect!

On a Formula 1 car, the super grippy soft tyres should drastically improve braking. But, without the same level of downforce I really didn’t think they would make a difference…
We know that tyres aren’t just for racing round a track. So, after what I thought was some successful testing, we wanted to try them out in the real world. First up, a trip to the shops.
