Do the softness or hardness of tires really matter? (besides Endurence Races)

[SALEEN_S7-GTR]

Most races are no longer than 20 laps, and I never experience tire wear. Does the softness really matter?

Soft tires grip the track better. I notice a big difference between racing soft and racing hard tires when I'm taking corners as fast as I can.

 

[Lloyd87]

it does, absolutely!

What I mean is, with the exception of endurence races, will using softs cause me to change tires? (NO ENDURENCE)

 

[A_s_z_t_e_c_h]

No

Nope it will not unless you are using B-Spec on one of the longer races (extreme series or higher). In those races, its best to use more durable tires.

I find the soft tyres last longer than hard tyres. Either a bug or because the soft tyres don't spin so much as they have more grip. Depends how aggressive the car is being driven and if it's standard or tuned.
