Could someone give me examples of a tire for each compound?
For example, what tire would be a street or sport tire? And is it the same for all cars? Like a Subaru BRZ comes stock with Michelin Primacy’s which have little grip, so I could see a street tire being something like a Michelin Pilot Super Sport, but a car like the BMW M5 comes standard with the Michelin Pilot Super sport, so what would be a street tire for that car?
There are no difference across makes or models, we have never been informed what the difference in tyres are. If I had to guess street would be a summer style tire, sport would be a track day type of street slick (pzeros) and race would be an all out slick
Behind the scenes there are indeed differences between tire compounds across makes and models, and many more tire compounds built into the game physics system than you see in upgrades. For each car, you can only select between stock (as close a match as possible to what came with the factory car), and these upgrades: street, sport, race, and drag (think of these as good, better, best + drag). However, all these upgrades may be using very different tire compound physics, depending on the car, era, etc.
Maybe these differences arent that big then? Because when you upgrade tires and every upgrade is +.03 or .04g better than the previous one, across all makes and models, except when going from stock to street, it isnt a big leap that you are putting the same tire on all the cars. Of course if you had a 65 Mustang, would you put on a 65 racing tire, or a 2015 racing tire.
Is it not possible that the game automatically changes compounds between tracks, like from soft to hard and such? It seems you get rain tires when you’re on a track in the rain, so in my oinion it would only make sense. Of course, this jut what I’ve heard mentioned among other forum-goers.
really? That’s an odd thing to ask. If T10 wanted to make the tires make a difference they’d allow for a rain tire option. Who runs slicks in the rain in the real world? They allow for drag tires for the drag racers, why not rain tires for those of us who tune specifically for rain? No, street or sport tires are not an acceptable substitute.
