Tyre wear difference between assists and non assists

as the title states, i have been experiencing higher tyre wear per lap and have about +5-10% higher wear than my friends at the end of stints sometimes even more its track dependent. we are using the same setups and both are wheel users only difference being that i run assists (TC and ABS) compared to him which is using no assists. 

I am wondering if anyone else has had an similar experience and i am wondering if codemasters have changed any values on the assists which has a result giving them worse tyre wear compared to not using assists this year. And comparing to previous games using TC and ABS always had the opposite effect of saving your tyres more due to the fact that you arent getting lock ups protecting your tyres and not getting as much slip on the tyres since the TC prevents over rotation.

  • This is interesting, I know the tyre wear on a pad when compared to a wheel this year is an absolute shambles. Pad users are suffering with excessively high tyre wear compared to those who use a wheel, which is something that's never happened before in previous itterations of the game.

    I've tried adjusting steering lock, suspension and other things to no avail.
