Tyre Wear x10 linked to slip / grip / overheat / cool down?

Hey all,

I have a suspicion that the heat up (red rectangle around the tyre) and subsequent reduced slip threshold of the tyre is also effected by the x multiplier in race settings.

Higher x wear settings seems to predicate much more delicate and dangerous throttle application. It also appears to cool the tyres down much quicker once they are over heated.

If this is the case I think it is detrimental to the game as the "window" between slip and grip lost is a) different every time you play the same car same track combo because the x wear multiplier has increased and b) massively reduced at higher x wear values to the point where what was a drivable car is much less so.

If it is the case I'd love to see it separated from x wear values such that the tyres wear out quicker but that the heat up / over heat / cool down and subsequent slip behaviour is consistent race for race.

This makes a lot of sense! Although it may have been included in the update that added Dragon Trail 911 Cup race. I could easily drive consistently around Suzuka but it was awful after the update when I tried Dragon Trail!!

I'll need to check the difference in wear rates for the two and re-run Suzuka to test!
 
Haven't noticed anything like that. If you slide the tires, they will wear a lot faster, but slip angles/heat/cool are the same.

There sin't really a heat / optimum / cool though is there? There's a very temporary TOO HOT when you slide (properly) and that's it. An overheated tyre in, for example, Asseto Corsa takes a good 3/4 of a lap to cool down. It's all very micro in GTS
 
But in real life the same car on the same track will feel different every day depending on time, weather, temperature etc...

Correct, but I was understanding the OP was in regards to, no tire wear, regular tire performance. When you go into a daily with accelerated tire wear, tire performance changes in relation to the extra tire wear rates. Which I don't believe is true.

i dunno .. i always have to take it easy for a few corners coming out of the pits in a daily race. whether it's tires or brakes or both i don't know

Or even just you (or me) adjusting to the car briefly?

One theory I had is that the coloured rectangle is buggy. There was a time months ago when it was indeed showing blue and blue green then grey for optimal and red for hot. These days it shows NOTHING, EVER, then immediately OVERHEATED! One of the things that has led me to believe the x wear multiplier is speeding this cycle up to the point of being non-existent.
 
Well I do get what your saying, but since the tire wear is 10x faster, your tires will wear out at that rate. If any amount of normal grip is given up, can you provide the necessary reference?
