If you're interested in finding out more about F1 tyres then I'd advise following some of the links below. (Please note: the American spelling of tyre is "tire")
The tyre companies
Bridgestone (the motorsport section is very interesting, especially the interviews with tyre-supremo Hirohide Hamashima)
Formula One in general
F1i.com - a good site for information on F1 and has a nice collection of images
Google.com - Use the image search to find motorsport pictures
Miscellaneous
Howstuffworks.com - a good site to find simple explainations on
Bouncing-Balls.com - a rather strange site explaining more than you ever wanted to know about rubber
A report into the tread separation problems experienced in the late 1990's by Bridgestone/Firestone tyres, which also contains a nice history and explanation of the chemistry of tyres
