I'm not sure if this is done already, but I don't think so.

As a tire heat cycles, the pressure inside increases and decreases. The hotter the tire gets, the more the pressure goes up. Atm I believe the pressure just stays at what you set it in the garage. It would bring a whole new level to tire care and car tuning, as well as making the first lap or two more interesting. Warming your tires up serves two purposes, making the rubber hotter, but also making the pressure go up to the proper level.

Great idea. So great it's already in the game

How can you be so sure it stays the same? My experience has been that the car's balance changes noticeably as the tire's air temperature changes, indicating there is a change in tire pressure.

I highly doubt Scawen would have overlooked this.

thats cool that its there

I had not found anything when I looked before I posted

Thanks for the pic of the tire thing, I only ever knew what the colors on top, and tire load meant I guess haha

I always thought a varying tire pressure wasn't included in lfs, but I'm happy that I was wrong

Why do people think that the tire pressure doesn't vary in LFS? Ever wonder why it says live values in the setup menu...

I'm still not totally clear on that - whether the tyre pressures we set are hot or cold, that is, I'm guessing it's the hot temperatures though as the tyres are fixed at optimum temps while in the garage screen.
