Different types of tyres are a key part of an F1 team’s race strategy.

Pirelli, the only tyre supplier in F1 since 2011, choose three types of compound which every team must use. Their decision depends on the circuit, the expected conditions, and the degradation.
Teams can choose up to 11 types of tyres to be used across the entire weekend. This is a reduction from 13 in 2022.
Drivers must use two dry tyre compounds in a dry race, meaning they must pit at least once.

Teams must use two sets during each practice session. This leaves seven sets left for qualifying and the grand prix (one of which must be a soft tyre for Q3).
Four sets of intermediate tyres, and three sets of wet tyres, are also allowed at every weekend.
Teams cannot share their tyre allocation between drivers.
