Since I've finally worked out the pattern which tyres you get for which car straight out of the dealership, I thought I'd share it for those who are interested.
Stock tyres are being equipped depending solely on 2 factors:
Another odd thing is that the so-called "Race-Modifications" do not seem to be considered as real Race Cars in the game, as RM's still get the tyre compounds strictly under the above rules for Road Cars.
Stock tyres are being equipped depending solely on 2 factors:
- 1) Type of car: The type of car actually can, as far as I know, ONLY be determined by the stock tyres. The following different "unofficial" car categories seem to be present in GT5:
- Race Car: any of these gets Racing Hard (+ Intermediate, + Rain)
- Rally Car: will get Sports Medium (+Dirt, +Snow)
- Road Car: Will get tyre compound based on factor 2 (see below)
- Tuned Car: Will get Sports Soft (irrespective of factor 2)
- Drift Car: Will get Comfort Soft (irrespective of factor 2)
Please note that not all cars by what you would generally call a Tuning Firm will apparently be classified as a Tuned Car, but simply Road Cars. (e.g. Spoon)
2) Weight/Power Ratio:
No matter if it's a limousine or a sports car by heart, the tyre compound for road cars (that includes road concept cars) is exclusively determined by the weight/power ratio. Using KG/bhp as a unit, the thresholds are:
- 9.00+: Comfort Medium
- ~4.86 - 9.00 : Comfort Soft
- < 4.86 : Sports Hard
Please bear in mind, that these numbers vary a tiny bit depending on when you calculate them (0km with or without oil change or after engine overhaul). Those above refer to engine overhauled cars.
