In an online article in Racecar Engineering, they made a note of the new "slim" front tires Bridgestone will be running in their final year in Formula 1.
Interestingly enough, they included a drawing of the inflated profile of the provisional 2010 tire compared to the 2009 front, including a labeled scale!
Big differences between the two profiles. That will be a substantially different tire. Also hadn't realized that they were using 12.75" wide rims. While I understand the teams would be very interested in getting that for doing aero simulation, I'm surprised they made it totally public. Then again I'm sure no one at a rival tire company would digitize it and put it in CAD or anything.
