With regards to tyre wear issues in the real driving simulators Le Mans 24hr endurance race, how come race hard tyres only last 8 laps and then become nye on undrivable. Yet in the real race medium compound run for triple or even quad stints stopping only for fuel every 10-11 laps. Only time tyres are changed is at the end of these long runs when driver changes at the end of "40 laps". Not so real i'm afraid, is there anyone else who feels this needs to be resolved to help enhance the ACO's Le Mans experiance:grumpy:
 
This did bug me slightly. They really managa that many laps these days on the tyres??
 
Been done to death, please use the search facility its not hard and stops clutteru=ing the place up. :)👍
 
I used racing mediums on the front and hards on the rear and I managed 13 laps a stint before I had to piy because of tyres and fuel. It is all about how you drive or how your B-spec guys drive. My tip would be to try and drive nice and smooth (if you aren't already), squeezing on the power and trailbraking are two things I do to get the maximum out of my tyres.
 
The thing everyone (including the OP apparently) is forgetting is that in real life racing events, you have to look after your tyres. Although I bet in GT5 you are driving at race speeds all the time. Your tyres wear down too quickly, easiest thing for you to do is blame PD instead of think about it and accept that it's not their fault, it's someone else's....
 
This is a copy of what I put in the other thread....
Ok, I have not read all of this, but there seems to be a comon thread that most ppl are missing. One that I was missing up until this last season of F1. Manufactures can make a tyre wear at what ever rate they want to. Just look at the Perillis that were used in the 2011 F1 season compared to the 2010 and previous seasons and there is a huge difference in tyre wear.
It sucks, I know but that's the best that I have been able to come up with to make any kind of sense out of the whole tyre wear issuse.
