Well worth reading.
In general, though:
In an optimised system, any change is for the worse until it is re-optimised.
Re-optimisation may require fundamental changes.

I think I have missed the point of this thread. I realize the rules mandate a 330mm wheel 660mm OD tire both do not change the physics of an air spring. OT over I will bow out and let the thread continue.

Oh, I thought it was because it was faster and provided better traction. I think I have missed the point of this thread. I realize the rules mandate a 330mm wheel 660mm OD tire both do not change the physics of an air spring. OT over I will bow out and let the thread continue.

If we were both honest with ourselves the taller sidewall is probably to allow larger advertising space by the tire manufacturer. F1 is all about $$$$$$$, and mikey you and I agree more than you might think.

Race Car
The 16" set I'm using are 140 Lbs a set total (Wheel / Tyre / Air)
As a Comparison the Genuine Porsche 17" Cup set I had on my 968 were 194 Lbs.
As you can appreciate the difference between these 2 sets fitted to the same car and road tested on the street is just beyond belief.
What makes it feel such a staggering difference also is I'm on a Manual Steering rack, so any additional weight and rim & Tyre width / resistance on the front axle is felt immediately as opposed to a Power steering system where the steering wheel effort and feel is not felt as much difference at all when changing wheels.

I like your originality and appreciate your honest and fresh approach to this subject.
