I've been playing this game since launch, career mode mainly, playing on full sim damage, High fault types, 50% length race distance and I've never once had a puncture or seen any other AI driver get a puncture.
I've played through around 4 seasons and not one.
Seemingly they are rarer than safety cars...
Anybody else had one ever?
It depends on the wear. Punctures happen from 80% tyre wear i find
You used to get them when running over debris. Another feature that was removed from the game...
We don't even get alternate strategies if we do get a puncture either...
If I remember I got one very early on, several patches ago. I think the tyre was 60% worn at the time and it was at Monza.
I only get them when a tyre reaches 99-100% wear.
nothing from debris or rubbing against an opponent/wall.
this used to happen when scraping a barrier. Why was it removed?
this game needs better tyre physics. Why can’t we flat spot a tyre and have the vibration effect the way we drive?
I just had one! Hit the wall right rear coming out of last corner in Jeddah (like Verstappen did few years back). Tyre and wheels were still on the car, but showed 100% wear. Replay confirmed it was flat. Was able to get car in garage and the little clock with time required to fix damage was showing. Session ended before it was repqired though.

Interesting... I've tried over and over again to get one going over debris and never had one. I can rub the wall and get one easily but you evidently still can when going over certain debris.
I presume because I mainly play career and the AI never make mistakes, there is hardly any debris
