Tyre wear on a controller is way too high

Honestly this issue really does need resolving. It needs it's own post on here.  I'm enjoying the handling this year on a pad way more than I did in F124 which was diabolical.

However there is a huge issue that people are highlighting all the time and that is the excessively high tyre wear using a pad. Silverstone for example on a pad regardless of setup is a perfect example.

On a pad the front left (medium tyre) is completely cooked after 7 laps and the AI start to reel you back at a rapid rate. I was watching a YouTube video of a wheel user at Silverstone on the medium and same 50% race distance. Their tyre wear on the front left was around 15% less than what I'm achieving after 7 laps. And they were not lifting in Copse, Maggots Becketts and stowe to protect them.

There is something fundamentally wrong here that absolutely needs investigating. My only fear is to apply any fix, would they have to change the handling physics?

I truly hope not because I like the majority of other pad users are really enjoying the handling.
