**Rider Style**: Some riders are harder on tires than others. A rider who knows how to manage their tire wear can maintain speed longer and avoid the dreaded drop-off that can happen when tires go off. It’s a big part of the race strategy.

**Team Communication**: Good communication between the rider and the team is crucial for tire strategy. They need to constantly update each other on how the tires are performing during the race so they can make quick decisions if needed.

**Long Race vs. Short Race**: In longer races, tire strategy becomes even more critical. Riders might choose to conserve their tires at the beginning to have more grip towards the end, while in shorter races, they might go all out from the start.
