With the crazy tire wear in the current FIA races this is what this season has come down to: Less tire wear - better chances in the race. Or a chance at all, that is.
Now, there‘s a list of fuel usage and a general overview over the types of tires comparing in wear. There‘s not yet been, to my knowledge, a list ranking single cars according to their tire wear. It‘s a little subjective and of course it comes down to driving style, break balance settings, wheel or controller, what track you are on etc., but I have a feeling there still is a common understanding out there, like „Car A is better on tires than car B...“ or „Car x is horrible/ amazing on the tires...“. It just hasn’t been compiled in to a list, to my knowledge.
Below is the list, started with the input of LeGeNd-1, posted by him following my original call, MASSIVE shoutout to you for the great effort in testing all of these cars!! „What a Legend you are, m8!“ (Quote unquote Kie25
) Cars were tested by him on one lap around Bathurst with 50x tire wear on RSS, ABS Default, other aids off, BoP with default settings. Wear is rated from 1-10 (10 is full health and 1 is all red), taken from right front tyre because it's the one that wears the most on this track. In the rare cases with a few MR cars that the rears wear a bit more it is noted. Physics model is currently post update 1.38 (April 2019), gear used was a Thrustmaster T-GT, so add some wear when using a controller.
Feel free to add, re-arrange, disagree, discuss...
