water is used in tyres as a coolant in racing car because they use to drive very fast and due to which friction generates heat and water use to cool it otherwise due to heat tyre may burn or brush on track

Hey friend, here is a full summary on Formula One Race cars:- ( Check the full summary out if you need any help regarding your question )
But considering the development effort invested in aerodynamics, composite construction and engines it is easy to forget that tyres are still a race car’s biggest single performance variable and the only point of contact between car and track.
Traditionally, an average car with good tyres could do well, but with bad tyres even the very best car did not stand a chance. Things aren’t quite as clear cut in the current era - since 2007 every team receives tyres from a single supplier - but tyres are still a huge performance differentiator with newer, fresher tyres usually offering a significant advantage over worn rubber. As a result teams and drivers will carefully manage tyre usage over a race weekend to ensure they have enough sets of fresh tyres left for the race.
Despite some genuine technical crossover, race tyres and road tyres are at best distant cousins. An ordinary car tyre is made with heavy steel-belted radial plies and designed for durability - typically a life of 16,000 kilometres or more (10,000 miles). The current Formula 1 tyres are designed to last for anything between 60 and 120 kilometres depending on the compound - and like everything else on an F1 car, are lightweight and strong in construction. They have an underlying nylon and polyester structure in a complicated weave pattern designed to withstand far larger forces than road car tyres. In Formula 1 racing that means anything up to a tonne of downforce, 4g lateral loadings and 5g longitudinal loadings.
