i have to complain about the patch a little bit.
of course, the tires are much more better, but the difference between R2 and R3 is even worse.
I had a 1hour ESL race yesterday, and because the EPS drivers had problem with the R2 tires towards the end of the race, i decided to mount R3s to the rear of the FZR.
But after 40 minutes they lose all the grip because they get to cold. It was almost undrivable. So even over a long distance, the R2 are better than the R3 (unless you have some big drifts, spins or flatspots), which is clearly not right.
Not to mention that the tires last now over an hour and the fuel consumption is lower, so you don't need to pit anymore in a one hour race.
The tire physcis by itself is great now, it just needs some balancing between the tire options like 1 qualy tire for 1-2 fast laps, 1 soft tire with more grip over a shorter time and a harder tire with less grip over a long distance.
So let's hope for some changes in the next patches
