Yesterday I did 40 laps on WE1R with the LX4 on one set of tyres. The car came better to drive after about 20 laps because of tyre wear. Same temp on the whole surfase etc. It just was so much better to drive.

This got me thinking that you should be able to select partially worn tyres for race start. I believe they do this in real racing too.

Now I do not want a button to select optimally worn tyres in the pits. What I would like is for you to need to wear those tyres down by driving with them. Then they would be stored as a possible tyre choise for your setup. Or you could use the same set race after race.

I would like to hear opinions from league racers as they do longer races where tyre wear is an issue.
But don't be shy to voice your opinion even if you do shorter races.

+1 I have to say this would make it quite fun.

my 2005 suggestion

I tried searching, but didn't use "slicks". :doh:

What if you would use the same tyres you did on qualify? Okay, qualification can happen (IRL) on another day than the actual race, but still. Other way would be to set x min practice before the race and you will start with the tyre wear.

The whole tire compound / set system needs to be overhauled.

Each car needs its own range of compounds, first of all.

I agree that we should be able to start a race on worn tires. We should also be able to manage different sets of tires individually, i.e. do five laps on one set to scrub them, then save another new set for a race. Servers should also be able to force a particular compound, and limit the number of sets of tires available to each driver.
