RSS Tires: cheap?

[Klaidheamhmor]

I just picked up the game the other day and have been having an absolute blast so far. It's the best racing game I've played in quite some time. I had a question about tires though from some other things I've read on the GT Sport sub-Reddit and a few other places.

It seems like some consider using racing super soft tires on your car to be "cheap", and almost akin to cheating. In arcade races where tire wear is off, of course there's no reason to worry about which one to use either. I was just curious as to what everyone here uses in order to present more of a challenge to yourself, or if there is actually some kind of benefit to using a harder tire, other than in endurance races where you need a harder tire to last longer.

On lobbies where there's no tire restrictions, I use RMs and drop down to RHs if I win with a big lead. I don't mind other people using RSS, I just don't like using it myself since it kills the car for me. I can't feel the car

Use whatever you want and what ever the game allows. Why worry or be concerned with what others think? Who cares? Not me for sure, they're just a made up name on a screen.

I can understand that. To be fair, the difference between RM and RSS is noticable but not so much for me that the car feels completely different to drive. I can see what you're saying about RSS though. With that, you can take brake really late and take corners incredibly fast.

Yep
Maybe I'm not just sensitive enough to the cars although, like Lebowski said, feel free to use any tires you like. If it's fun for you, then have fun!
