I can't believe I haven't noticed this sooner, and I applogize if this has been discussed before. I was just fooling around with my white Mobil Gran Turismo Formula 04 car at Tsukba Wet, and in the replays, I noticed that it looked like tires had a wet-weather tread on them...

Well, sure enough, they did! :dopey: Nice to see PD paid attention to this 👍

I just find this so cool, and that I haven't noticed it in... almost a year? :dunce:
 
i would guess, wet tires are put on any car when you take them to tsukuba wet. i dont know though.
 
OMFG I NEED TO DO THE ENDURANCE DAMNIT!!

I'm gonna hurry till I got endurance hall and do the endurance next week, NO COMPLAINING!:lol:
 
I think that's answered an old question of mine, as I was spending ages at one time trying to find the best-gripping tyres for the wet, as I thought the likes of racing slicks would be awful. After some tinkering, I came to the assumption that every set of tyres came with a wet set for the wet Tsukuba track.

That more or less confirms it for me. 👍

Yep, and I think it has to do with the compound as well. What I mean is, if you have super-soft racing slicks installed and go to Tsukuba wet, you will have super-soft wets, but if you have super-hard slicks installed, you will get super-hard wets, and so on...

Of course, if you install sport tires, then the car will keep those, because they are already treaded; I'm simply referring to slicks alone.

Of course, since the F1 car only comes with mediums compound slicks (which are the equivalent of super-duper ultra-mega soft compounds on any other car) you will get medium-compound wet tires.

:)
 
Someone or we should do a test to see if different tires actually change in terms of handeling & grip with different tires. I.e. luxury tires vs. supersofts. If no one does, I'll give it a try as soon as I find my GT4 disk.

Cheers
 
Yeah , Majarvis seems to have nit the nail , slicks convert to a wet counterpart . I tried a wet on road tyres , not a fun session .
On things unnoticed for a while , it was only from advice on this forum that i found the used tyre section :dunce:
 
Yup, I saw pics of that a (very) long time ago, but nobody's brought it up in a long time. Nice catch, I'm surprised more people haven't seen that since Tsukaba Wet is a pretty popular track and the FGT is pretty much most people's favorite car.
 
i found this several months ago.

i also wish they had more then one wet track. i'd like to do the ring in heavy rain.
 
a wet enduro at somewhere like suzuka or the ring would also be good. i dont think tsukuba is a good track to have in the rain since its so short and tight.
