Hey folks,
Thank you for your detailed feedback on this topic. We've shared an update on this which you can find here: Tyre Allocations - Answer HQ.
@gusticlescaukI'm assuming you're pointing to:
F1 22\2022_asset_groups\f1_2022_vehicle_package\teams\[team name]
Because there aren't any config files in there for me, only the ERP files, and I can't find anything in there about tyre allocation.
A path like the one above to the folder or file you're referring to would be a great help. Codemasters aren't famed for their tidy housekeeping when it comes to their file structures I'm afraid, duplicates and so on. A nightmare.
Edit: Just to clarify, the only files in that specific folder deal with car physics and not tyre allocation. They're files I deal with day-in, day-out. Probably the most commonly edited files for the F1 games on Racedepartment. If there's something in those files that deal with tyre allocation, I'll be amazed.
There's F1 22\2022_asset_groups\f1_2022_vehicle_package\tyrecompounds\ but that deals solely with tyre behaviour, not allocation.
The only answer I've seen to this problem is guy making a table for Cheat Engine to swap the compounds while the game's loaded, because there's supposedly no other way around this, but I hate using CE because it's caused all manner of issues with my PC as far as antivirus goes. More trouble than it's worth, for me anyway.
New patch, no solution. EA/CM ignoring it on purpose. They will not fix this. Think we can close this thread. I give up.
Just so you guys are aware, I did send @EA_Kent a private message exactly a week ago. I made it as professional, adult and pragmatic as I possibly could and tried to be genuinely helplful and understanding in my explaination too... He still hasn't bothered to read it.
At this point I think it's the community managers who just aren't passing the information along to the development team.
Here's what I sent:

If you check back to EA_Kent's last post in this thread you'll see he says this has been passed on, which I believe. I think the issue with this not having been resolved yet lies with the game dev team rather than the community managers. And for balance, passing the issue on is obviously the easy part compared to actually fixing it! It looks like a lot of important work went into the latest patch so it would be great to think the tyre issue may get a look in now. It sadly and to be honest concerningly still isn't on the 'community raised issue' list though.
On the lack of response to your DM I'll just say that I'll bet EA_Kent receives a huge number of messages. One of the limited 'powers' I do have as a 'Champion' is access to a more direct and reliable communication method with the EA community staff. The details of such communications necessarily need to be private and I won't normally make any reference to them at all for this reason. Given the importance of this tyre issue I will just assure you that I have previously used this to specifically highlight this myself.
