AI Tire Temp and Tire Deg
It is pretty clear the AI is not suffering from tire degradation. Their race strategy seems to follow a predetermined script. They also do not seem to lose time at the end of stints or where tire w...

@DRudd13Temperature has literally no impact on tyre wear (in the game)..The game is yet very far from being anywhere near truly simulating true tyre behaviour..
@Meza994I don't mind being corrected. I could have sworn I'd seen someone from EA say that there still needed to be tweaks to tyre temps/wear a few weeks ago, and presumed they were linked. But obviously not. But if I/we go round a corner with fluctuating temps, it will damage the tyre's more than if we had a perfect temp all the way round the corner?
- @DRudd13 Nope.. But indirectly the overheating can cause higher wear but causing understeer which many players often try to counter via higher steering angle which in turn will cause higher wear or could cause higher wear as massive overheating will slow you so much that the scrubbing even at very high turning angle is too little to cause any bad wear..
- @Meza994 cheers, inadvertently, I think you've just helped me get the setting I had wrong. Steering angle was set at 280 from what I was using in 21, changed it to 360 and what a difference.
About tire wear not sure, even though on my career at the end of the stints I seem to gain some time to other cars because I have a lot of tire wear updates on my car.
But tire temps are still weird. They get affected with cold tires after leaving the pits but can get them up to temps way faster than us. The big problem is how easy they maintain tire temps in interchangeable conditions. If it's wet to dry, they sometimes don't even box to dry because their inters don't overheat as our tires. From dry to wet they seem to be more vulnerable but when the rain drops start they are way faster than us because it seems that their temps don't get as low as ours.
- @DRudd13 The thing is, unless you set the temp overly high or push like hell lap after lap, the temp could stay consistently under or well under 100 degrees.
Then, within that window, the effect of couple of degrees of fluctuation had very little to almost no influence on the wear rate itself. It's all down to the driver's input and the R&D parts related to tire wear at that point.
