Tires problem on Long Events

About 2 months ago I set up a Finland event with 19 stages and it gave us two supersoft sets and one soft set.

Last month I set up a Scandia event with 16 stages and it gave a proper amount of tires, unfortunately I can't remember the details

Just this morning I set up a central Europe event and with 15 stages, only 5 of them wet, it gave me FIVE SETS OF WET TIRES. How does that make sense?? The wet stages are isolated between service areas too, so there are only 2 service areas where it even makes sense to switch to wets in the first place. There are over 100 miles of dry driving o it's going to be hard with the single medium set and two hard sets of tires that were given.

The automatic tire selection is egregious, something is very wrong with the way it is done. It actively detracts from events.

Yep, had this issue earlier, set up an 18 stage Monte rally, with every stage dry. The game gave me one set of mediums, one set of sofas, and five sets of wets!!  Also, completing the shakedown didn't give me an extra set of tires.

This desperately needs fixing.

The tire distribution and usage is an issue. Can we please have a proper allocation of tires and also see the wear rate with more information at service? (ie. how much tread is left)

Quite sad there's absolutely no response to that from the devs. 

Exactly.

And it's not finished yet:

If I set 14 stage per rally,there are no big problems to conclude the rally, because you only have to manage well the tyres,and change it after 5 or 6 stage(depending of km.)

This because the wearing is not so much, especially on 4wd.

And the grip is so kuch whit new tyre,so when you have less grip is much fun.

But the problem is that it is unreal to can't change the tyres on 2 or 3 service in a row.So it is more beautiful,real and fun to have more tyres to change.

There are another problem:

If like me,you play a single custom rally,whit 26 special stage,the IA opponent drivers,CHANGE THE TYRES ON EACH SERVICE!

So they after 3 service have anymore tyres to change and I often win the rally by 1 or more minutes because they have no more tyres.

And I also win All the POWER STAGE in this way too.

This is only for gravel events, because in tarmac rally they give 4 or more wet tyres,but if the events are on summer, are too bad because it doesn't rain.

I often put the rain tyre for 2 dry stages,if they are not so long,but my AI OPPONENT NOT,so I can win easily,and it is boring.

PLEASE CODEMASTERS FIX IT

I Agree with everything that's said here.

I also find it astonishing that Codemasters don't consider it a priority.

In the meantime, here's a workaround that i've found gives me a better Custom Championship experience.

Gravel Events:

Turn off Hardcore Damage. This only effects you and is exaggerated anyway compared to the damage the AI get.

Have only 3 services and make sure the first stint is long, as this stops the AI always choosing the softest (recommended) tyre.

Tarmac Events:

Just add some wet stages to make up for the shortfall in dry tyres.

Setting up an event this way gives me a more competitive and realistic feel to a rally right down to the wire.

Try it.

Exactly.

This is the only way for fun in a single rally of 12 \ 18 special stages

Still an issue unfortunately. I'm doing Chile as a long event, and I got two soft and a medium set. The event is appropriately hard on the tires, so where are the hard sets? Now I am basically driving on skates for two-thirds of the event because I need to drive 50 km on each set, but one set lasts about 15km...

At least you had somewhere comfy to sit 👍

wow thats unacceptable.
