Tire type

[Schmiggz]

I couldn't find anywhere a valid explanation about what's a differences between tire type 1, 2, 3, 4 and all the way to 20.
Can someone please light me up on this?
Thank you.

They are not different tyre types, just different sets of the same tyre compound, each set keeps its tyre wear throughout the race weekend.

Tyre types are just dry or wet.

So, racing a 30 laps race with dry type 1 or dry type 5 is exactly the same?

Dry set 1 or dry set 5 exactly the same, unless you have used either of those sets previously for free practice or qualifying. Be careful, some race weekends only have a limited number of tyre sets (eg. 5 sets) so make sure you don't wear them all in free practice and keep a fresh set for qually. Especially if you return to the pits in free practice the tyre set can automatically progress to the next fresh set
