tire saving

[williamismee]

Can sum one tell me if making 5 gear transmission for my Peugoet 908 help save tires or not? cause im only getting 2laps out of soft tires.

Taller (longer) gears might help a little. The best approach to conserving tire life will be smooth driving and correct braking... and judicial throttle use

Proper cornering technique will help save your tires, try the license tests, there are lots of driving technique lessons in them.

Quiet tires last longer.

Quiet tires last longer.

Oh so very true.

Since the update I lubricate my tires with my tears.

But seriously, corner technique and throttle are better bets than gearing. Though I suppose that could help as well. I also use TCS with torque-heavy cars like the 908, which would use TCS in real racing anyway. I keep it between 1 and 5 depending on where I am in the tires.

Gearing should be adjusted according to the track or, for the GT5 drag racers out there (), for acceleration. Manage your throttle better and you'll see a huge improvement in wear.
