it's always been in the game, but they don't really talk about it, probably because it's quite rudimentary.
When you get on track and park the car for a while, tyres become blue on the HUD, and will perform very poorly until they come back up to a workable temperature (which usually just takes 2 or 3 turns).
It seems to be that in GT7 though, tyre physics have evolved a lot, and performance will strongly be impacted by time of day, track temperature. Or maybe it's all in my head.

^It's not in your head. They are definitely different when they're cold, as it should be. During the WTC800 races, the Nurburgring race starts and night and ends at dawn. The tires are better towards the end than they are at the beginning, because the track itself is colder at night.
So, they definitely put it in the game, but I also wish there was some indication of their temps. Either use colors or literally put a temp number in the tires' rectangles

Even GTS have the tire temp. However, it only activates on the races with tire wears. Also, the effect of low-temp tire or overheated tire is rather less pronounced (compare to real life tires) and all tires have pretty quick warm up speed and relatively broader operating temps (also compare to real life tires).

Yes, PD have simulated tire temps from at least as early as GT5. Maybe earlier but GT5 was the first game I noticed it and could take advantage of it.
Only with tire wear on. With tire wear off the temps/pressure is locked to optimum and doesn't change with how you drive.

I think there is.
I was doing one of those cafe missions(Think it was US Vehicles on Trial Mountain Championship)
On the reverse course which has fast time cycle.
Lap 1, had little issues with grip with Sport Soft, lap 2 when it got dark, I was sliding more, understeering more and oversteering more.
Day the track was warmer, Night, track colder.
This might have also impacted tire temps.

I really hope in the upcoming updates we get tire pressures and a better indication of tire Temperature, They added wind to the game and gave us a little indicator on the top of the screen it wouldn’t be hard to implement tire pressures and tire temperatures at the bottom of the screen. We know the physics already in the game. And we know humidity and track temperature does evolve in the game. So why can’t we have this basic feature. The tire model is a good evolution from GT Sport it is still missing some work but it is a step in the right direction. Also the Michelin is sponsoring the game I think it could be very useful to bring this feature to the game.

This ^^^^^^^^
Especially if you pit because it started raining & you switch to rain tyres. I've noticed intermediates or wets feel like driving on jelly for the first 3/4 to full lap & if you make the wrong choice & use wets for just a damp track they overheat & wear out within a couple of laps.
I have also noticed grip levels vary dramatically depending on the time of day & if it's sunny or not.

But this isn’t very visual either. Them trees be made of concrete!

Yes, tire temp is absolutely a thing. Only on races with tire wear enabled. If you want to know temps, download a sim dash app for your phone/ tablet. They all have widgets showing temp, wheel spin, and wheel lock. Though the default optimum thresholds are inaccurate, they can be adjusted.

Yes, tire temp is a driver feel element. I feel less grip the first half lap after a pit stop or a new race start. No color indicator required, just a sense better drivers accept.

It may be a case of "Access Point Isolation" by your router, that prevents different devices to communicate between them.
Mind also that the local network IP address expires periodically, so it's cautionary to check it every time you turn your console on.
In my case, when I have the wrong IP it just says the game is not running at the moment.
At the moment I can't check with my PS4 on a wired connection, because my house isn't wired this way but I believe many people who use the app, specially when playing online, uses a wired connection without issues.

What are the best values for the thresholds?
