No snow, just a 10° drop in temperature at dusk and standing water on a freeway on-ramp.

I'm not sure about F1, but tires (with tread) have a 'slip angle', the difference between the direction of travel and the direction the tire is headed. It's what makes them 'talk' before they give way.
Turn-in is how quickly the car responds to steering input. With a tall sidewall and a narrow rim the wheel twists inside the tire until it responds. A rim wider than the tread braces the contact patch. This is probably true for F1.
