I understand they make tires to have a certain level of “performance” dictated by the FIA but these blowouts have been an issue ever since they took over, I can still remember Clarkson making fun of them back on Top Gear. I would think pre-Pirelli that the FIA had standards for the other tires manufacturers too. I really hope they look into other options for 2024.
