Tyres, like anything else, come with a price. Yokohama were undercut in the pricing game. Therefore, the tyre contract was awarded to Pirelli tyres.
I do not not think that this has any detriment. Hence, to the quality of Yokohama tyres. They have proved to be a great product for F4 in the past. But it was just a decision made on price.
In my opinion, for what it is worth.
I think that it is all coming together at last for the Giant Italian tyre company. This, in my eyes, includes the full spectrum of products.
Thus, from the regular car tyres that Pirelli supplies,. As a result, right up to The F1 racing tyres and all in-between.
The F1 series did not do Pirelli tyres any favours. They experimented with different treads and compounds.

As in most things, one product does not necessarily suit all. Racing teams were up in arms. Things did not go right in the tyre department. But as time went on, Pirelli started to straighten themselves out.
I think that the race teams became more confident. After all, Pirelli are a great company and they are no fools. Anyhow, as far as making tyres is concerned,.
The first year in 2013 saw Pirelli tyres take a few hits
As they grappled with the different tyre compounds, that brought them some bad publicity, but 2014 brought them a much quieter year and saw them regain some ground.
One of the reasons could have been something to do with the new racing rules that were introduced, taking the ball away from Pirelli for a change.
Pirelli tyres think that the F1 tyres will be pushed harder again in 2015.

However, with the start of the 2015 season, Pirelli Tyres is expecting that their tyres will be once again pushed to the limits with the development of the F1 car engines.
The F1 cars are thought to be going to be pushed harder this year, which will put extra pressure on the tyres once again.
Pirelli will keep things much the same in 2015. With the possible exception of super-soft compound tyres.
Which will have a much broader heat range, offering the racing teams extra chances in the correct driving conditions. This tyre is going to be used on the rear of the car and will be another short development in the progression of the F1 tyre development.
Pirelli tyres also take over the supply of tyres for F4 racing
In another development,. Pirelli have secured the contract to supply tyres to the BDRC F4 cars for the 2015 race season. The excellent Japanese company Yokohama Tyres previously held this contract.
I have to say, though, that this is not a bad reflection on Yokohama Tyres; the deal was carried out on a purely monetary basis, with a few politics thrown in.
Pirelli are also supplying a variety of rally tyres
to various rally groups and in my opinion, they are now extending the good name that they are now receiving from tyre development in general, bringing out excellent tyre products across the entyre car marketplace.
Pellon Tyre and Auto-Centre offer car and van servicing and repairs to all makes of vehicles.
