"Wow! I knew this course would be great, but it exceeded my expectations. It’s the practical tools and suggestions that I can actually use at the track that makes this course super valuable."

Tyres Are Your Untapped Superpower...

It doesn’t matter how many years you spend at the track – if you don’t learn how your tyres underlying mechanisms work, your mental models will always be off.

Tyres are a highly complex, non-linear component that, unfortunately for you, are also the most important tuning device on your car.


Tyres are your performance foundation.

If you want to see dramatic improvements in your lap times, then tyres are where you need to start; not suspension, aerodynamics, engine tuning, or even driver coaching.

All of these areas depend on your tyres being in their happy place for you to succeed.

If your tyres are not happy, anything else you do is like building a castle on quicksand. You just wouldn’t.


Simple Measurements Can Give You All You Need

By gathering data like tyre pressures, tyre temperatures, and even driver feedback, you can get more grip, better balance, and clear direction for tuning all the more interesting parts of your car.

Even better, once you understand your tyres, you’ll be able to make confident setup decisions about how you can get more grip from any tyres, on any track, and in any weather.


How Do You Learn The Secrets To Better Tyre Performance?

Well, you can spend years pouring over the dense - and remarkably pricy - engineering texts, and then spend a few years trying to apply the theories in practice.

That’s what I did. It was undeniably effective – the end result is incredibly worthwhile – but the journey was long, arduous and extremely expensive.

I want to help you learn everything you need to know about how to maximise your tyres, faster and more effectively.

Over a year, I distilled all that knowledge and experience into a comprehensive online course.

I call it...

Master Your Tyres

Your Keys To Unlocking Consistently Faster Lap Times… Every Time

"Samir, you've done an excellent job.The onboard tire temperature monitoring section was pure platinum. The sections on interpreting tire data and tire construction were also very good, especially for racing tires that switch on at a given temperature. Regarding cornering and misleading tyre feel, for the professional drivers this sets the adults apart from the kids – your drivers will love it!"

ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Hi, I'm Samir...

...a race engineer who's designed suspension systems for famous road & racing car brands, such as Aston Martin. I also spent a decade sports engineering for the worlds best Olympic coaches. Plus, I've raced for years at club level.

Despite my background, I found tyres complicated. The more I invested in the heavy engineering texts, the deeper down the rabbit hole I went. Turns out not all the theories agree! So I set out to test them in practice. That cost me... a lot... but was worth it.

Focusing on the driver, I decided to distil all my research into "Master Your Tyres". I spent a year creating the course, and then I got 15 engineers, from F1, WEC and Rally, to peer-review my work (now THAT was scary!)

Several hundred students have now passed through and, I'm delighted to say, are going faster. I've continued to improve the course and now include many insights pro teams would prefer I kept to myself...

Give the course a go and it will be my pleasure to help you unravel the mysteries surrounding tyres, so you can go faster too.

Frequently Asked Questions
The course is in the form of self-paced lessons. There is a lot of content, but I’ve purposely kept most individual lessons bite size at around 3 or 4 minutes each.

My estimation is that you need to allocate 2-3 hours per week for the course, so somewhere between 8 and 12 hours in total.

This can be all on your own schedule. You also get access way past the live programme to all the self paced lessons, the workshop recordings and the private community for support and advice.

Any questions on timing please email Samir (hello @yourdatadriven.com) to get clarification on this.
✔️ Racing drivers – who want to finally make the jump too, or remain at, the front.

✔️Experienced track day / HPDE drivers – who are looking to level up their pace.

✔️Mechanics – responsible for set up and who want to understand tyres once and for all.

✔️Coaches and Instructors – who want to know the physics behind their good advice.

✔️Junior engineers – who want to impress their team by bring professional insights and approaches to tune the most important component on their car.
❌If you’re brand new to motorsports and are still picking up the fundamentals of driving on track.

❌ People who intentionally race on dirt or loose surfaces.

❌ Pure sim racers – there is stuff here for you but this is aimed at real world application.

❌ Tyre engineers – several have been kind enough to review the course, all learnt something, but there is less here for you than for others.

Worried? Just ask Samir, or remember, their is a no questions asked money back guarantee.
Nope. This is a one-time purchase. When you buy Master Your Tyres you’ll have access to all the resources for life, and all the hosted content (lessons and community) for the duration of your selected package.
Yes – if you purchase the “Base” package, you’ll be able to upgrade to “Champion” later on.

The upgrade cost will be the difference between what you paid originally and the current FULL cost of the Champion package. Any discounts cannot be applied to upgrades.
If you are not happy with the Master Your Tyres course, for any reason, you can reach out by email in the first 14 days, and I’ll refund your purchase, unconditionally.
For this edition of Master Your Tyres, I will be active in the private community spaces during office hours. I’m here to support you.
The units in the UK are a mess! I’ve tried to be as accommodating as possible with regards to covering everyones unit preferences.

The first major upgrade to the Smart Run Sheet was to incorporate unit switching.

I do appreciate it is an international wrinkle and, as with other products I’ve made, let me know where needs improvement and I’ll get it done.
Yes – new tyres need a special approach, not only to get the most life from them but also to prevent creating irreparable internal damage.

Master Your Tyres includes a step-by-step process you can easily follow, along with why it works.
I’m hear to help you. Just drop your question in the “Ask Questions” section in community and you’ll soon get unstuck.

If there is something you feel could be explained better, let me know. This is a complex topic and its important to me that you're clear on everything covered.
Absolutely!

Tyres are an incredibly complex component that works in often counter intuitive and strange ways. Even if you have spent years at the track, there are mechanisms that can only be understood if you know how all the pieces of the puzzle work together. This “book knowledge” is often very hard to work through, and some books disagree…

In Master Your Tyres I’ve tried to explain things from the perspective of how you can apply the knowledge in practise. This focuses on the amateur paddock and filters out the fluff.

Furthermore, for one reviewer “..the Smart Run Sheet justified the price of entry alone!” Because this tool bakes in the theory to help you interpret your numbers more easily and quickly in the field.

If you have any specific concerns reach out on email but on both the driving and technical side, I expect you’ll get a lot out of this course.
This programme took me 9+ months to pull together. This included hours of book research, development of the Smart Run Sheet, hours of track testing, and then creating the curriculum, lessons and exercises.

When it was done in draft I then gave access to 15 professional engineers, drivers and coaches (many from the podcast) to peer review and find any issues. They were from F1, WEC, Rally, HPDE and mainstream automotive.

As you can imagine, they had a raft of feedback and suggestions! I assimilated all this and re-worked and improved all the lesson material - either correcting mistakes or making things more understandable.

Rest assured, this material has now been well battle tested - evidenced by the amazing student feedback and results.
Yes they are! However taking chunks of time off your lap times is not boring. Nor is having tyres that don’t wear out prematurely, or having a sweet handling car that puts a huge smile on your face every corner.

Tyres are the foundation for everything you do on track – be that driving or setup. Use the knowledge and tools on this course to get them in their happy place, then you don’t have to worry about them any more…
Originally the working title was “The Track Tyre Tuning Course.” The content evolved and many of the initial reviewers pointed out that there is a lot more covered than simply tyre tuning. You will learn how to get the most from your tyres, why that works and then get real practical techniques and tools you can put into action both on and off the track.

The Master [of] Your Tyres is more apt for how I know you’ll feel by completion =)
Yes – if you are actively enrolled in an educational programme, you can receive 20% off the full cost of the Champion package. This discount cannot be combined with any other discounts, but it can be applied to Team licences.

The discount is intended for full-time or part-time students. To receive a unique coupon code, email [email protected] with proof of enrolment.
Yes. When you complete the full Champion programme you will be able to download a personalised completion certificate – each with a unique verifiable id.

This can be useful to claim reimbursement from your employer (or sponsor!), to share on social media or print out and hang on the wall.
Yes. The course covers how to get the most out of modern and historic tyres, road and slick tyres.

The processes are then about teaching you how to learn about your individual tyre characteristics so you can optimise them for your car on any track.
Life happens and its a totally understandable concern. All the other lessons are already recorded are available for you.

If life events mean you’re really just not going to be able to find the time, reach out on email and let me know the situation.
Yes, I offer “Parity Purchasing Power” (PPP) for individuals living in countries where the local economy makes our products and services unaffordable.

Motorsports is expensive in any country, and most individuals will recoup the value of the course in one event. If your circumstances are unique, please reach out and I will help if I can.
Master Your Tyres offers a ton of opportunities to practise applying the course concepts. This area is constantly under review to help students learn more effectively.

The Smart Run Sheet is the hidden gem here. You’ll soon get comfortable with using this tool for the practises so you’re confident to use it at your very next test.
I’ve a habit of waffling on! To keep the lessons short and to the point, I have scripted them.

This gives you the benefit of well structured lessons, with closed captions built in. It also gives me the opportunity to edit, correct and improve the lessons more easily in future.

At times the narration could sound better if it was more natural, but I do feel the benefits you get as a result are worth it. Take a listen to the sample lesson on this page to make sure you agree.
No but… it might be difficult for you to relate to the issues the course is solving – purely because you haven’t had the time to experience the complete frustration that tyres can deliver!

Saying that there is nothing stopping you getting off on the right foot. From a technical perspective everything is beginner friendly, you might just wonder why we’re bothering to get this deep into it! – to gain seconds of lap time performance and better tyre life is the answer!
Although my expertise lies primarily in circuit driving, where multiple laps provide ample opportunity to reach optimal temperature, I firmly believe that the most important 80+% of the course content is highly relevant to hill climbing and autocross events.

Driving techniques, tyre mechanics, general processes, and guidance for varying conditions are all areas that I believe would be of considerable value to you.

Undeniably, there are some elements that may be less directly applicable. In such cases, a bit of creative adaptation may be required. For instance, tyre pressures may not fluctuate as significantly, but employing a pressure sweep technique over multiple runs instead of laps can still deliver the same level of setup insights.

And remember, we offer a 14-day no-questions-asked money-back guarantee. If you decide to sign up and realize that it's not adding value, rest assured, I can arrange a refund without any complications.
I’m happy to answer any questions. Just drop me an email (hello @yourdatadriven.com) and I’ll get right back to you.
