WTH has happened to the tire wear is was fine until someone has screwed it up why mess with something that doesnt need fixing fix the servers so they can run with more than five people in them fix the audio and change the wear back to what it used to be it is so phoney now it aint even funny,, make the game enjoyable not ridiculous,, i know of at least 50 people who agree with me on my friends list ,,, and im sure there are millions more
 
With regards to tyre wear issuses how come in the real driving simulator at Le Mans endurance race hard tyres last only 8 laps and then become undrivable, and yet in the real Le Mans race, drivers will do triple or even quad stints on medium race rubber stopping only for fuel every 10-11 laps. When they change driver at the end of the fourth stint they refuel and change tyres, but during all four runs they can do 3:30's all day long. Was tyre development on gt5 inspiredby pirelli in Formula1 last year

If tyres lasted that long in GT5 there would never be a need to use anything other than the softest as most races are 3-5 laps, same online!

Who does races that last for hours?
 
Lots of threads indeed.

But tire wear absolutely DID need fixing. It was among the most obvious, glaring, silly flaws in the game. Whether they fixed it right is another matter. RS life surely needed to be shorter, but shortening the life of all 3 compounds was a rather odd decision. If anything, hard tires should last even longer than they did.

I like races that last for hours. To me, anything less than 25-30 minutes is no fun, almost feels like you might as well put guns on the cars and give nitrous bonuses for powersliding in "races" as short as A-spec and most of online. Kidding aside, the quick wear rates are sort of fun in forcing pit stops in short races, but really do make things wierd in long ones.

Oops got carried away, thread is still redundant.

I regulary host 30 or 40 lap races online at Spa, 2 laps out of a set of R/S on a R35 TC is no joke.

10 to 15 lap races round the Nordshleife, again R35 TC 1 lap, what a joke, pitting every lap is stupid.

Fully agree they needed to do something with tyres but this is a JOKE.
 
I think the new tire wear is the best thing to happen to GT5.

Watch replays of races with people who get good tire wear and those who don't..... the reason they don't will be obvious. Instead of bitching about tire wear, just learn how to drive to save your tires. You may find you are even quicker once you learn to drive like it isn't an offline time trial.... and the people you race against will be very happy that you aren't still running as hard as possible into every corner and slamming on the brakes and sliding through it.

Or..... just keep bitching, drive the way you always have...... and watch the people who learn to do it right go by you while you sit in the pits.
 
One thread is enough.
