Tyre width vs. performance

[Scotracer]

But again JT, is Bridgestone continously developing the tyres, meaning next race's "softs" will not be the same?

No. They are tyres that they sent to the FIA at the end of 2008 so the compounds don't change.

Hm interesting. Didn't realize compounds had been "locked" for 2009.

In any event though... "softness" is really not a good way of describing grip and wear of a compound.
