Pad tyre wear

I already made a comment about pad being very unbalanced and a lot slower compared to wheel this game but now something else caught my eye. The biggest advantage wheel has in this game is not even in a one lap pace, where it can gain between 3 and 5 tenths compared to pad, but it’s in the race. It has come to my attention that, after a few laps of the race, wheel drivers start to gain compared to pad drivers out of nowhere and the gap just keeps increasing even if the pad drivers were managing their tyres. This is because pad tyre wear is a lot worse than wheel tyre wear. One of my friends was doing a coop career race and he noticed his tyre wear being 60% at the first stint, then asked his teammate, a wheel driver, about his tyre wear and he said it was 40%. This clearly shows that pad this game is not usable and needs a patch to balance it off immediately, because the difference is too big. Skill doesn’t even matter anymore, it’s about if you have a wheel or not. Please ea fix this.

    I noticed doing many races that the ture wear between pad and steering wheel is considerable, between one stint and the other you can get to 20% more wear of the rubber (obviously we are talking about the same rubber both with the same hard laps), even if you try to manage the rubber it will still wear more than them, currently it is impossible to compete with very fast drivers for this problem, I ask you to solve the problem as soon as possible because for many pad or in any case for those who play at a competitive level it will be impossible. I say this because it has been tested, I hope you see the message.ea

  • Agreed I've also noticed this too, pad players have significantly more tyre wear than wheel players in F125, the difference is huge.
