Hi, I’m new player on Forza but I spend quite some time in Dirt Rally 2.0 and WRC 8, and I wanted to try some rally in this game too.
I tough that it would be nice to talk about off-road tyres. For my experience so far, the normal off-road tyres are almost always superior to the race off-road tyres, and here is my thoughts:
- time to heat; even with lowest possible PSI the race tyres take a while (too much IMO) to get into temperature, especially if you consider that both off-road and race off-road take less time to heat on the tarmac. For what I saw they do take less time to heat on S1 instead of A, and they do get on temperature… On B class they stay too cold so it’s even useless to use them.
- grip on tarmac; this really annoys me. The grip on tarmac is just nonexistent on race tyres. Doesn’t matter how you tune the car, race off-road doesn’t grip (enough) on tarmac. This tough isn’t an issues if you only race on dirt; the issues it’s just that they become not worth it in mixed races, compared to the normal off-road.
Quick recap: A class and lower: always(ish) normal off-road tyres
S1-S2 class race off-road tyres for only dirt track, normal off-road tyres for mixed tracks
Also I do not like these events but, the race off-road tyres seems to be really good on trailblazer (although I haven’t played them enough to really tell whether they are better to normal off-road)
This are just my thoughts and I really would like to hear other people impressions so please let me know if you have those issues too!
