Pad player here, I race competitively against wheel users and my wear has been fine, can even say top 3/2 on wear for race distance. For example best stint I've probs done in testing was getting hards to lap 25 in bahrain 50% with little to no tyre saving, realistically you wouldn't go that deep but was a good test. Tyre wear is more dependent on how you drive more then anything this game. So its still possible to be competitive agaisnt wheel users. Only thing about pad i dislike, is the limitation of steering at high speeds, we can't flick or change steering direction as fast as a wheel users which can be hindering in high speed chicanes and that type of corners but nonetheless it is still possible on 25 just harder, which I can understand is frustrating but also nice as it provides a skill gap.

This is the first time I've heard a pad player comment that the tyre wear was fine, please share your setup and controller settings because you must be the only one I know of who hasn't complained of excessive tyre wear on a pad?
This forum is littered with complaints of excessive tyre wear using a pad. Have you also read the Reddit forums too? Hundreds of complaints saying the same thing regarding high tyre wear on a pad.
I've seen comparisons of wheel Vs pad at Silverstone and the front left on the pad user was absolutely cooked after 7 laps whilst the wheel player had significantly less wear and could extend the stint.
There is clearly a massive disparity between the two. The amount of negative feedback just on this forum alone tells you that.

I doubt they will do anything, we've been complaining for almost 2 months and they still haven't done anything.I'm not asking for much but there are obvious problems,
