IRT outlaw4lyfe's original question, look at it this way.
I find that once my tyres hit red I am usually running about 5 to 7 seconds slower than on green or yellow tyres. This loss of time is due to lack of grip which affects cornering, braking, acceleration etcetera etcetera. It usually takes about 20 to 25 seconds (depending on the length of pit straight) to pit in and out again. On medium tyres I can get 7 laps of most tracks. On hard tyres I can better 10 laps. Do the maths.
I find the best way to keep the lead if I am leading is to find when the opposition pits and do it at the same time. That way, nobody's got an advantage and you can fang it out without sitting in the pits watching cars zoom by.
But, you don't have to pit, the choice is yours. If you can control some of the cars with red tyres, good on you. Personally, I'd rather pit and keep things running smoothly.
Just my opinion. All 2.2 cents worth (including tax)
