Grand Prix tyre

The Australian Formula One Grand Prix was held in Adelaide between 1985 and 1995 in the city's east parklands on a street circuit.

The Goodyear Eagle Formula One dry weather (slick) tyre is marked 'Nelson' as it was allocated to three-time world champion Nelson Piquet, a winner in Adelaide in 1990. It is difficult to determine what year the tyre was used, and whether it was used for a race or a qualifying session.
