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...

@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.
After observing replay for a AI after a pit stop awhile ago, they had those tires cold coming out as it should, then increased quite quickly to that 92 degrees and got fixed to that for the rest of the race. I doubt that is something they can manage by driving in such perfect accurary (for each tire!), but not sure is that some simplification in the AI implementation or a bug. My guess it's simplification, "working as intended", and there is still way to go for them to play with same rules as we players...
No idea about the tire deg though, they are fast in the last lap or few, but that is can be explained by them using the rest of the ERS like they do + having lighter car (and especially if they have been able to keep the wear down better than player does).
- @Ileleee Even though the AI get the tire temps faster we do to. Hard tires normally don't get in the right window till about 2-3 laps, depending on other factors like track temps.
Things like Hungary would never happen in the game. Not only the surface temps does little do no effect and so the Hards would still work in the game, a S-M-M strategy would be impossible because there is no other set of mediums.
