Tire Treads

[psn-marc15]

When I have racing tires on, there not slick, they still have a tread.
Anyone else notice this or is it just my eye sight?

slicks tires do not have a tread....so if there not slicks they have a tread....

Yes i know that, but racing tires dont have a tread but in gt5p, they do.

I'm sure this will be rectified by the time GT5 comes out, after all, slick tyres in previous GT's were actually slick and not treaded. 👍

Thats reassuring

I'm guessing if it's a street car, the "racing tires" are probably something like semi slicks.

Yokohama Ad048:

Or Toyo R888:

I think in GT5P the tyres are always the stock tyres coming with the car (the 3D model).
I never noticed that the tyres changed in GT4, thats cool.

Yokohama Ad048 sure looks like a GT4 SPORT tyre type.
In GT4 the tyres were changing their visual appearence. Some classic cars have beautiful ROAD tyres with red or white rings.

In GT5p the tyres are not changing for now. But they sure will))

It's lazy programming, I hope it will change for GT5, but essentially the tyre remains visually the same whatever type or compound of tyre you choose.

In GT4 when you change tire, you could see the threads change. In GT5P you can't. I bet 100% that in GT5 it will change. I would not worry too much

 

[rikin_gt_india]

the s2 tires in the evo x tuned version has a different tread than other s2 tires, anyone notice?

 

[unit-one]

most of the tyres on GT5p cars are different. And they don't change visually when you switch compounds.

lazy programming (as you see it) can be rectified by updates...

GT5P is missing tons of small things like this, exhaust flames, sparks from bottoming out, tyre treads, glowing brakes etc, We should see all (or close) these things return for GT5.

 

[Peter]

GT4 had sparks, exhaust flames, tyre treads. Glowing brakes is PC sim territory.

GT4 had glowing brakes.

IIRC gt3 did as well.

 

[Kryz11]

YUP GT4 had glowing brakes. And they do it right, you really need to over heat them in GT4 to see them glow.

Exactly, thats what I am saying, they will return in GT5 (hence the term "return" in my last post) . Except GT3 and GT4 had glowing brakes...... some PC territory....

Indeed, no insta-glow.

 

[Peter]

Any proof of this? Care to post a picture? I've never seen it at all, I don't even believe it, that GT4 was more realistic than I even imagined. Forza 3's amuse me

Brakes don't glow like that on a road car. Unless you did 150-0 stops for an hour.

 

[Boffin]

Look for the SVT picture in my GT4 gallery. It shouldn't be too hard to find. 👍

EDIT

Sorry, I don't seem to have a larger shot.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Any proof of this?

 

[No46_TheDoctor]

That would be proof right there.

GT5P is missing tons of small things like this, *snip*, sparks from bottoming out, *snip*

Or bottoming out in general. I haven't been able to get a car to bottom out in GT5 yet.

 

[Jay]

Indeed, it bottoms out on the jump at Eiger but yeah, it really has makes no effect to the car at all. I personally want even more effect than in GT4, more like in iracing. IMO it will make good tuners standout even more and make people take note how to approach big bumps, dips, jumps and curbs.

Well indeed, to the driver other than sparks GT4's effects were barely noticeable. I'm up to the task of tuning that.

Dont cars "bottom out" at Daytona road on the bumps if you set the car too low? Something I never experienced until I changed to a wheel with FFB.

NO, thats what Sports tires are, theyre street legal.

 

[Nigma]

Hence, Semi-Slick. Your right thats a street legal Semi-Slick a true Racing Slick has no grooves or tread what so ever....we want full contact with the road
