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.
On normal forums the "solution" is accepted by the original author of the topic, not by an admin. This "explanation" is not a solution to the problem.
I'm starting to think there is a genuine miscommunication and misunderstanding here.
Codemasters' statement referred to the general function of the tyre allocation and how close to the rules it is (essentially what the opening post was about) rather than specifically about missing a 2nd set of medium tyres (the statement seems to be totally oblivious to this point by saying "we wanted to make sure the player wasn't missing a specific set of tyres). They're just focusing on how allocation works compared to real life and have effectively ruled that as "by design".
Perhaps it would be better if we all piled into the thread I opened a few weeks ago which was specifically about not being able to use a 2nd set of mediums - Can't Use 2nd set of Medium Tyres in a Non-Sprint Race - Answer HQ (ea.com)
If we can bump that thread up, perhaps they might get the message?
