If you play online with grip set to real. No aids and so on.. you wont be able to get out of the pit with your racing soft while raining. No grip at all. You will be spinning like on ice.

Same with inters until it stops raining. If the water spray isnt as thick as in the rain, change to inter. If there is very little water spray left you can try the racing soft.

But you wont be able to do fast laps with slicks in the rain. No way!
This "rs are better then rain tires" only works offline with grip set to easy mode..

Open a lobby, choose Monza and set everything to real... Let it rain and put your racing soft on your race car.. and then i want to see you do faster laps then with rain tires :D
 
Depending a lot on the car. On X2010 (as most guys use for endurance races) it doesn't matter. Just stick with RS throughout any rain and you will destroy the competition. On other cars the Rain tyres are needed when it is raining. The grip improves. And in B-spec let him use what he wants. If not, Bob will probobly drop like a stone in classification.

But are the inters faster than race softs? Endurance races use Low Grip Reduction, they just have fuel and wear enabled.

Not sure, i rarely run on racing soft. I typically stick with racing hard or racing medium. I can give them a try as i do not see this rain letting up anytime soon :yuck:

That's what I was thinking... if it's been raining all day you probably aren't under a lot of pressure from the bots so could afford a quick test, since now we can know when the track is 100% saturated. I was just curious is all. I never use the softs either unless I'm screwing around purely for money or to force a win on an impossible car I refuse to give up on. Not that I can't test it myself since PD added the option.

At work now. Will test it later tonight and will post with my feedback.
 
I am actually an expert rain racer in gt5. Better then i race in dry conditions. And with hours of testing i can confirm that racing rain tires are the best for 60-100 percent water on track. Inters for 30-60 and RS for anything under that
 
I compared the difference between Wet and RS tires in 1000km Suzuka endurance(100% water).

RS is 5 seconds faster than Wet with 100% water on the track. It just grip and grip where as the wet tire struggle for grip at every possible moment.
