Tire wear only shows up in endurance races as the others have said. I'll add this as well: There is no actual difference from hard to super-soft tires when it comes to the way they wear out. There is only a difference in grip and friction.
In other words, hard slick tires don't offer as much grip as super-softs, but if you enter an endurance race on super-soft tires, they'll last just as long as hard slick tires. Why? Because someone apparently screwed up with the game programming.

I'm surprised this question wasn't about damage...
However, yes: only GT4 has tire wear for all races of all lengths; GT2 could have, if not for rushing development for the winter of 2000 (I believe).

You're right. It goes like this:
GT1 & GT2: tire wear in endurance races only. In GT2, the programming is screwy--soft tires last about as long as hard ones in simulation mode.
GT3: Any event with more than 3 laps has tire wear if I remember correctly. Off-road races do not have tire wear at all.
GT4: All races (2-lap sprints to endurances) include tire wear. Some of the "Special Condition" events do not, though. I personally like this. Even a 2-lap race, you have to adjust your driving style because in the first lap your tires will be cold but in the 2nd you'll typically have more of a safety zone when cornering. The Ai knows this too, and you'll see them drive harder as races progress. 👍

*stammers incessantly* Perhaps all the cars in the race are established for being incapable to waste their tires in such races, therefore the feature was deleted for that event.

^^ I remember the Lancer Evolution Cup had 5 or 6 laps on all races, and it was still free of tire wear.
Like the others said, GT2 only has tire wear on Arcade Mode (as an option) and on Endurance Races.
Oh I forgot about arcade tire wear..it's different from sim mode. I think you can make tire wear in Arcade mode stronger or weaker, right? Man it's been so long since I fired up GT2 arcade...
