Pirelli has a family of five different compounds for slick dry-weather tires. Previously these tires were all coded differently, but this caused confusion with casual fans. Now, the company selects three of the five available tires and color-codes them red, yellow, and white for each track. So the compounds selected change with the tracks, but in each case, red, yellow, and white correspond with soft, medium, and hard rubber compounds.
