It’s probably just cuz I’m a lousy driver… But it seems like when I get a brand new car with no upgrades, I overheat the tires so easily. It might be because I’m trying to drive it like it has upgrades and the tires just can’t handle the additional load. But I was wondering if stock tires have a different heat designation than race tires.
It seems like if I take a corner and just barely rotate the car on stock tires, I immediately have orange rear tires from even a slight rotation of the car. It’s hard for me to compare though, because usually by the time I’ve upgraded the car to get race tires I also have better suspension and wider tires that are dispersing the load and heat.
Anybody else notice this if it’s just the fact that the entire car is probably stock and I’m abusing those poor tires or is it the compound that is affecting the overheating.
Can’t wait for the update so I won’t have to drive a stock car right out of the gate anymore. I might drive stock on occasionally, just for the challenge or entertainment. But when I want to race I would like to have a car with upgrades right from the first practice.
Peak grip is around 176f for street, 203f for sport, 221f for race. If you go above this they overheat and grip begins to fade. Below this they are too cold and have less grip
That actually seems about right. But what isnt right is their wear is linear based on mileage and isnt based on heat. So if you do a bunch of laps on an oval the inner and outer tyre will have the same amount of wear. Gran turismo 1 had a more realistic tyre wear model in 1997.
I think the actual situation will be much more complex. The tire wear in the career mode is too low, while the multiplayer mode can better reflect tire wear.
When I run on a right turn track like Hockenheim, the wear on my left front and left rear wheels is more severe.
When I was driving the 1966 Ford GT40, I found that on the original factory tires of this old racing car (which had severe tire wear), when I didn’t choose to fully turn the controller’s joystick and instead used it less than fully, the tire wear was significantly reduced.
The impact of aggressive driving on tires is significant, at least for multiplayer mode.

Well this is good to hear. I’m glad they’re taking into account the way you drive. One of the biggest things in real racing is there are aggressive drivers that can have a few good starting laps and then they fall away because they destroy their tires. This is a common fault of drivers that are not as competitive. The great ones can balance their performance with tire abuse so that towards the end of the stint they’re still competitive.
i have Noticed this myself especially when you increase tyre width front & back It’s very bad because if it goes to orange Heat it’s going to affect how the tyre Grip they could slightly Reduce tyre heat up on the outside with wider tyres or at least to also give us more control over tyre heat & degradation in free play & private multiplayer to
