The tires constantly break.

[Steel]

After the latest patch 1.1.4, my tires constantly started to break, and I don’t run into anomalies, I drive along the road, and they just burst, fly off and become loose. Is this another bug, a complication of the game or a paradox in the machine? Diagnostics at the paradox station, with the help of the energy of the anchors there are no problems, but the wheels are constantly full of holes. So that you understand the scale of the problem, during a foray into the zone at 3 locations, I seal the wheels with sealant 6-7 times, sometimes they simply tear and have to be replaced. Once for 2 locations, I installed 3 spare tires. This is some kind of nonsense, and I use all-terrain wheels

Check the miles, anything after 80 is just asking for trouble (unless it has the peculiar trait, then it's fine because these things already lasted for 1000 of miles).

And no i haven't encountered that.
Usually when my tires "break" (loose and punctured or whatever it's called) they're usually past 70 miles.
I just exchanged them for fresh ones once got back to the garage.
EDIT: Clearer wording

It’s not by any chance a car quirk is it? be it an extremely annoying one. Might be worth having a look at the tinker station - ps it took me a few goes to realise the above is car does this when that happens, not when that happens car does this.. if that makes sense.

Are the quirks developed randomly I wonder. I had one develop after encounters with broken bunnies[/spoiker]

iirc only quirk effect that can happen with tires is they pop off. There's no quirk effect that does direct damage to your car, they can cause the car to do something that might end up in damage but otherwise the worst they can really do is drain battery/gas, cause the car to jolt forward into something or have doors/wheels pop off.

when that started to happen i got the repair the same part 6 times achievement so a soon as i could i changed my offroad tyres to allterrain tyres. Im not sure why the tyres dont get a weakened effect like other parts but the debuff still seems to apply.

Oh no no, i exchanged them with fresh ones, bad wording on my part sorry.

They do, it's the "Bald" trait.

I meant more being able to check the miles, but if not then I guess i'll assume you just decide once its happened without reason you replace.?

To check miles on parts or tires, take tire off the car go in the inventory hover mouse over the tire and hit "v" for more info.

it’s clearly not a matter of mileage, I replaced several sets of tires and still they just punctured and became loose out of the blue, when I just stood there, didn’t even drive, I just stood there and from the start the tire was torn to shreds, this is complete nonsense, and I repeat, the paradox checking station, even with hints, doesn’t find anything, and it all started with the latest patch 1.1.4, before that I didn’t have a single tire puncture unless I drove into a puncturing anomaly

I had *no* idea this could be done. Thanks for the tip!

Install Off Road Tire, is better durability or install the last tire upgrade version, I don't know the name in english, i am playing in French and the French name is : ( Pneu Anti-Crevaison ), with this tire you never break.

The all-terrain tire seems to get flats way more often than the offroad tires.

[Burning like KELT-9b]

i might be biased but i think parts salvaged from other cars worn out more quickly than things that you craft yourself. anyway, tires are durable but sure are get flat or blownout rather quickly. personally, i dont give a ♥♥♥♥ about the offroad tires even if theyre blown out because they somehow still retain good grip lmao. different story if theyre loose though... i better repair it quickly or might fly away on their own on the next bump. i tried using anti-puncture tires and i quickly changed it back to offroad because honestly..... anything other than off road feels expensive yet grips like crap

[theaaronone]

The offroads have been the best for me overall, at least in the outerzone... I will say in the mid-zone they've started giving me trouble, it could be down to wear and tear, I just replaced them all but I may try the anti-puncture again to see if they do better out there.. just seems like in the mid-zone I'm rarely on a road anyways.

[xethier]

I've tried all the tires and run through the game twice so far...

Offroad tires are, by far, the best choice overall. They're cheap, they last a good while and they're solid in all the important situations.

After 3-4 runs with a set though, you pretty much need to replace them. (as a set) -- once you start seeing the grey "X" status effects, just replace the whole set.

It's also a good idea to carry at least one or two spares due to blowouts. (and a stack or two of sealing kits)

The all-terrain are almost as good offroad and significantly better on road, but they're more expensive to make and they blow out / fail just as often.

The power-grip are too expensive and drain your battery too fast to be useful long-term.
Although taking a set of these on the last mission isn't the worst idea ever.

The run-flats are pretty decent, and if you're sick of constantly fixing your tires, this isn't a bad choice at all. But, they're godawful in water and not a whole lot better than summer for offroad, so i don't know that i'd recommend them unless you're just tired of the minutiae.
