TIRE SETTINGS (ALL FOUR)
STARTING PRESSURE
The air pressure in the tires when the car is loaded into the world. Lower pressures will provide more grip but will produce more
rolling drag and build temperature faster. Higher pressures will feel slightly more responsive and produce less rolling drag, but will
result in less grip. Generally, higher pressures are preferred at tracks where speeds are higher while lower pressures work better
at slower tracks where mechanical grip is important.
LAST HOT PRESSURE
When the car returns to the garage after an on-track stint, the tire pressure will be displayed as Hot Pressure. The difference
between cold and hot pressure is a good way to see how tires are being loaded and worked while on track. Tires seeing more
work will build more pressure, and paying attention to which tires are building more pressure and adjusting cold pressure to
compensate can be crucial for optimizing tire performance.
LAST TEMPS
The tire carcass temperatures (measured within the tread) are displayed after the car returns from the track. These
temperatures are an effective way to determine how much work or load a given tire is experiencing while on track. Differences
between the inner and outer temperatures can be used to tune individual wheel alignment and the center temperatures can be
compared to the outer temperatures to help tune tire pressure.
TREAD REMAINING
The amount of tread on the tire, displayed as a percentage of a new tire, is shown below the tire temperatures. These values
are good for determining how far a set of tires can go before needing to be replaced, but don’t necessarily indicate an under-
or over-worked tire in the same way temperatures will.
