Rear tires problem
Hi! How to solve my problem that the rear tires wear more than the front tires. I didn't have such a problem in previous Formula 1. Now, in my 2nd career race, the rear tires wore more. What would be the solution?

Try to change the brake balance at standart its at 63% or something, go lower liker 53-58% that should be helping.
More brake bias to the rear does usually not help with tire wear on the rear, quite the opposite is the case.
However, you can try more downforce on the rear, softening rear suspension, roll bars or lowering rear ride height. You can also increase tire pressures on the rear as long as they don't start to overheat then.
But in the end it seems to be a common theme in this game, even tho it's not on every track. Sometimes (e.g baku) trying to fix this would result in a way to understeery setup.
I have the same problem (in Baku)
At the beginning of lap 8/26 my front tires are 21% and my rears are 32%. I use medium brake assist so the brake balance won’t matter.
What can I do to make the tire wear front and rear more balanced?
@RemWal96 If you aren't able to reduce wear on your rears anymore, you can do the opposite and try raising wear on your fronts. Stiffen Roll-bars and suspension, reduce tire pressures on fronts unless tires get too cool. On Baku this actually can be a problem, tires tend to be too cool.
If that's not enough, there are some options which can be taken with a bit of caution:
- Increase front camber. But if you're front technically weren't grippy enough yet, you might achieve the opposite and reduse front tire wear.
BUT: Same goes for the rears. You can try increasing rear camber and see if the wear gets better in case you're sliding to much on throttle.
- Increase front toe. Look up for tire temps, they might tend to overheat otherwise. However, overheating tires is one of the things which aren't that easy too achieve with this on baku 😉
Also increase front toe will lead to better turn in, watch out that you're car doesn't get too oversteery on corner entry increasing rear wear again.
- If you have some rear toe, you can try decreasing it. However it can cost you stability of turn in and on throttle. If you start sliding again, it will increase rear tire wear.
Look that you try to check one option after the other. If one didn't work, then put it back annd try another.
If it worked, try the option more strongly until it doesn't anymore. Reset it to the best working value and then try adding the next option.
However, in the end baku is a track being very harsh on the rears. You won't achieve a perfectly balanced car without having a understeery mess or a big fat draggy downforce monster. You will have to stop at the point you're feeling it will be drivable enough for a whole race and accept that it is how it is
