Do different tire manufacturers change in performance?
Does the different brands of tires change performance? For example in adhesion, wear, the tire heating, changes in something, or only changes in the same style?
In real life maybe, but not in LFS. There is absolutely no different appart from the texture used (technically, the texture is also the same, but offsetted, since all tires manufacturers are on a single texture).
e.e no just no, I've tried all of them and boom, no difference, like nacim said in REAL LIFE it would make a difference but little in terms of the rubber quality (grip & traction) + pattern.
I.E. It could literally have a sticker called "banana" and would still handle the same as the michelin one in LFS ofc because both has same pattern + grip & traction.
For now its just about personal preference , I usually use cromo-plain I find the rest a bit too flashy. . Also the street tyre's logo its just drawn from its rubber, looks better that way while the racing tyres are colorfull lulz
As a avid FBM racer I can say that for the first few hundred races changing tire brands to a preferred one of your choice does have a placebo effect. Like "ooh bridgestones make me corner faster then some cromos".
But once you are qualified and raced enough you'll soon understand that tire branding in LFS is just a texture and basically brand exposure and all have the same properties. So basically hey, your Bridgestones are really just rebranded Cromo tires, and they don't actually make you go faster.
Hope this helps, because I certainly was drawned into the placebo until I realised 1:12s are all the same for every tire :lol:
So far in this thread all avatars look a bit suspicious to me... maybe except kid222, that's some serious racing car... but rest of it.. hm hm hm.. (trolling) (edit: MicroSpecV ... hey, that was slot for my post, why are you overtaking me, one speeding ticket for you sir)
On a more serious note I do wonder what an endurance championship would be like with different tyre manufacturers aswell as different car models I mean, even in real life this has become a rarity!
True, maybe one manufacturer can be quicker but wears quicker, the other slower to gain pace but handles longer distances better.
And if dynamic time is introduced (no, not weather like rain; just day-night cycle), the changing temperatures will also make Endurance races like the recent Desire of Passion 2017 Tour much more interesting - runners with tire A will run quicker and consistant in the day but slower at night when the temperatures are lower, and vice versa for tire B, C etc.
