Some are more equal than others.

The Deltawing’s front tires are thinner than motorcycle tires, and the rears are just smaller diameter than regular wheels. I don’t know what these go to, but it isn’t that.

The skinny ones are the rear tires, right?

Deltawing technically isn’t a P1 car and it runs Continentals now because TUSC rules.

Yep. They tried to go with only 10% smaller on the back, but it was bad for the aerodynamics.

I guess the rears will grow in 2016, when they could go AWD and add rear wheel steering.

Hell, the same size tires differ between teams as well.

In Japan, tires in the GT500 class of Super GT are actually designed for specific drivers as well.
